SECTION 106 CONSULTING PARTIES INVITATION

LETTER
June 30, 2008 

Re: Section 106 Meeting of Consulting Parties 

Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

To Whom It May Concern: 

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is proposing to replace the existing Connecticut 

River Bridge (“CONN”), a two-track moveable bridge along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor that spans the 

Connecticut River between the towns of Old Saybrook and Old Lyme, Connecticut. The Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) is serving as the lead agency for preparation of an environmental assessment (EA) 

for the project. In addition to the development of an EA, FRA has initiated the Section 106 process in 

accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1996 (NHPA). We invite your organization to 

become an active Consulting Party for the project and designate the appropriate representative. 

On June 10, 2008, an invitation was submitted to your office for a project coordination meeting. Please 

note this meeting will also serve as the first meeting of the Section 106 Consulting Parties. The meeting 

will include a review of the proposed project, the build alternatives, and environmental considerations. 

The meeting will also provide an overview of how the Section 106 process will proceed for the duration 

of the project. 

Date: July 8, 2008

Location: CTDEP Marine Headquarters 

 333 Ferry Road, Old Lyme, CT

Time: 1PM - 3PM 

Your participation as a Consulting Party will be beneficial as it will help streamline the environmental 

review process and ensure consideration of all pertinent issues early in the process. Please RSVP to Dina 

Rybak of AKRF, Inc. at 646-388-9601 or at drybak@akrf.com. If you have any questions, please contact 

me at (215) 349-2730 or at kulickk@amtrak.com.

PREHISTORIC CONTEXT REPORT

Appendix A-6: Prehistoric Context Report

PREHISTORIC CONTEXT

Archaeologists have divided the time between the arrival of the first humans in northeastern

North America and the arrival of Europeans more than 10,000 years later into three precontact

periods: Paleo-Indian (11,000-10,000 BP), Archaic (10,000-2,700 BP), and Woodland (2,700

BP-AD 1500). These divisions are based on certain changes in environmental conditions,

technological advancements, and cultural adaptations, which are observable in the

archaeological record.

PALEO-INDIAN PERIOD (11,000-10,000 BP)

Human populations did not inhabit the Northeast until the glaciers retreated some 11,000 years

ago. The Paleo-Indians who first inhabited the area most likely exploited a wide variety of

natural resources provided by their environment. It has been suggested that they actively hunted

the large mammals that roamed about the region (mammoths, mastodons, etc.), but they also

hunted and trapped smaller animals and supplemented their diet with fish and gathered plants

(Cantwell and Wall 2001).

Paleo-Indian lithic technology had a distinct style, typified by fluted points. These were

elaborately detailed stone points that would have been used for a variety of functions, most

notably for hunting. They were often made of high-quality imported chert, but were also known

to have been crafted from local materials. Other stone tools manufactured at this time included

knives, scrapers, drills, and gravers. Wood, ivory, and other materials were also used for the

manufacture of composite tools, such as hunting spears.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the Paleo-Indians were highly mobile hunters and

gatherers. They appear to have lived in small groups of fewer than 50 individuals (Dincauze

2000) and did not maintain permanent campsites. In addition, most of the Paleo-Indian sites that

have been investigated were located near water sources including postglacial lake basins, but

such finds have been rare in Connecticut. Paleo-Indian fluted points have been discovered along

the shore of the Thames River in eastern New London County (Tams et al. 1998).

ARCHAIC PERIOD (10,000-2,700 BP)

The Archaic period has been sub-divided into three chronological segments based on trends

identified in the archaeological record which reflect not only the ecological transformations that

occurred during this period, but the cultural changes as well. These have been termed the Early

Archaic (10,000-8,000 BP), the Middle Archaic (8,000-6,000 BP) and the Late Archaic (6,000-

2,700 BP) (Cantwell and Wall 2001). The Late Archaic is sometimes further divided to include

the Terminal Archaic (3,000-2,700 BP).

The aforementioned environmental transformations included a continued post-glacial warming

trend, the extension of hardwood forests, and a decrease in glacial runoff which resulted in the
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

creation of lakes and other small bodies of water. There was a subsequent migration of new

animal and plant species into the area, while the herds of large mammals traveled north,

eventually dying out. The new surroundings attracted smaller animals, such as rabbit, turkey,

waterfowl, and white-tailed deer.

As the Archaic period progressed and the number of plant and animal species inhabiting the area

increased, the size of the human population did as well. In general, archaeologists have shown

that Archaic Native American sites were most often located near water sources. The abundance

of food resources which arose during this period allowed the Archaic Native Americans to

occupy individual sites on a permanent or semi-permanent basis, unlike their nomadic PaleoIndian predecessors. These individuals migrated on a seasonal basis within specific territories

and consistently returned to and reoccupied the same sites.

The arrival of new food sources allowed the human population to expand their subsistence

strategies and at the same time forced them to develop different technologies that would allow

such resources to be exploited. Perhaps the most important of these developments was the

advent of fishing technology, which occurred during the Middle Archaic in response to an

increasing dependence on the area’s marine resources. The new technology included hooks and

stone net sinkers. In addition, the influx of nut- and seed-bearing foliage resulted in the

development of stone mortars and pestles in addition to stone axes used to process plant

material.

In order to successfully hunt the smaller game animals that had established themselves in the

region, narrower spear points and knives were manufactured, along with weighted spear

throwers. Domestic technology was advanced at the same time, with the development of a wider

variety of hide scrapers and, later in the period, the introduction of bowls made from steatite or

soapstone. Tools continued to be crafted in part from foreign lithic materials, indicating that

there was consistent trade among Native American groups from various regions in North

America throughout the Archaic period. Many Late Archaic period archaeological sites have

been identified on both sides of the Connecticut River mouth (Keegen 1999).

WOODLAND PERIOD (2,700 BP-AD 1500)

The Woodland period represents a cultural revolution of sorts for the Northeast. During this

time, Native Americans began to focus on a settled, agricultural lifestyle rather than one of

nomadic hunting and gathering. Social rituals begin to become visible in the archaeological

record and are represented by many elaborate human and canine burial sites. The first evidence

of smoking has also been found—stone pipes have been uncovered at Woodland sites—and it

was at this time that pottery began to be produced.

In general, there was a greater emphasis placed on composite tools during the Woodland period.

While stone scrapers, knives, and hammerstones were still in use, there was an increased use of

bone, shell, and wood in tool making. Furthermore, the development of bows and arrows

revolutionized hunting practices. Fishing continued to be important to the local economy and

wooden boats and bone hooks were often utilized (Historical Perspectives, Inc. 2005). Many

tools were still made from imported materials, indicating that the trade networks established

earlier were still being maintained (Cantwell and Wall 2001).

Pottery was introduced into Native American society early in the Woodland period and by the

time of European contact in the 1500s, well-crafted and elaborately decorated pottery was being

manufactured. Similar to the Archaic period, the Woodland has been divided into Early, Middle,
Appendix A-6: Prehistoric Context Report

3 May 2014

and Late sections, which differ mostly based on the style of pottery which was produced at that

time. Woodland pottery had simple beginnings; the first examples were coil pots with pointed

bases, which were made with grit temper. These were replaced during the Middle Woodland

period by shell-tempered vessels bearing a variety of stamped and imprinted decorations. As the

period drew to a close, the decorative aspect of the pottery was further augmented with the

addition of intricate ornamental rims (Louis Berger Group 2004).

Woodland-era sites across North America suggest that there was an overall shift toward full-time

agriculture and permanently settled villages. Woodland societies were considerably more

sedentary than were their predecessors and there was some farming of maize, beans, squash, and

tobacco. The development of pottery, increasingly complex burial sites, and the presence of

domesticated dogs are all consistent with sedentary societies, which have a close association

with a particular territory or piece of land. Woodland sites, like those of the Paleo-Indian and

Archaic periods, are usually found alongside water courses. They were often occupied for long

periods of time, although there was still some seasonal migration that may have left them

unoccupied for brief periods throughout the year. Many Early, Middle, and Late Woodland

archaeological sites have been identified on both sides of the Connecticut River mouth (Keegen

1999).

CONTACT PERIOD (AD 1500-CA. 1700)

The Woodland period ended with the arrival of the first Europeans in the early 1500s. However,

extensive European exploration of the Connecticut River Valley did not occur until the early

17th century, when Adraien Block surveyed the area on behalf of the Dutch West India

Company in 1614. During the late Woodland and early Contact Periods, a variety of Native

American tribes resided in Connecticut, many of which were “linguistically and culturally

connected” Algonquin tribes (Grumet 1995: 153). These groups resided along the waterfront in

the spring and summer months and migrated to inland forests during the fall and winter (TAMS

et al. 1998).

Two tribes resided at the mouth of the Connecticut River: the Hammonassets on the western

shore and the Nehantics (also known as the Western Nehantics) on the eastern shore (Griswold

1930). The population of the Nehantics was far greater than that of the Hammonassetts and in

general, both tribes were relatively peaceful (DeForest 1853). The territory of both tribes was

reduced at the end of the 16th century with the arrival of the Pequots, a warlike tribe who

traveled south in search of land that could support their large and growing population (ibid). The

Nehantics and Hammonassets allied themselves with the Pequots but because of their lesser

numbers, they were subordinate to them (ibid).

As depicted on Griswold’s map of Native American settlements in Connecticut, three Native

American villages were situated along the southern portion of the river, then known as

Quinnetitukqut, meaning “long river” and from which “Connecticut” is derived (Roberts 1906).

On the western shore were Pataquasak—identified by Trumbull (1881) as Pattaquasset on what

would later become known as Lynde’s Point but shown on the Griswold map to be much further

north—and Pashesauke (or Pasbeshauke), situated on modern Saybrook Point. An unnamed

Nahantic village was located on the eastern shore of the river near the modern village of Old

Lyme. These villages were interconnected by major and secondary trails, including the “Shore

Path,” some remnants of which still exist. Most Native American habitation sites in the Lower

Connecticut River Valley have been identified as “dispersed, decentralized towns extending

across stretches of riverbank along secondary streams in wide, sheltered valleys and coves”
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

(Grumet 1995: 154). Nearly 40 Native American archaeological sites dating to the Contact or

early Historic Periods have been identified in Middlesex and New London Counties, most of

which were located along the eastern shore of the Connecticut River (ibid). In addition, there is

evidence that Native American burials were uncovered during the excavation of cellars in the

town of Old Lyme during the 19th century (Deforest 1853).

After the arrival of Dutch traders shortly after Block’s exploration of the area, a trade economy

quickly developed in which more than 10,000 beaver pelts a year were exchanged for various

goods (DeForest 1853). The Dutch attempted to establish a settlement at Saybrook Point in the

1620s, but were not successful. In 1632, several English noblemen, including Lord Say-and-Seal

(Sele) and Lord Brook, for whom the town of Saybrook was named (the name was formally

changed to Old Saybrook in the mid-19th century), and George Fenwick, were granted a patent

for a large parcel of land which included the mouth of the Connecticut River (Barber 1837).

Fenwick was the only patentee to actually reside within the patent, and he served as its governor

from 1639 to 1644, at which time he sold the land to the colony of Connecticut (Roberts 1906).

Throughout the 1630s there were many violent encounters with the Pequots which resulted in

the Pequot War of 1653-1657, and the English settlement survived thanks in part to the fort they

had constructed on Saybrook Point. A town was laid out in the vicinity of the fort and it was

expected that upper class English gentlemen would settle there. However, because of the wars

with the Native Americans, this did not occur (DeForest 1853). Nevertheless, the European

population in the area continued to thrive while the Native American population was crippled by

war, loss of land, and European diseases. The fort offered protection not only to the individuals

residing at the mouth of the Connecticut River but also to those living in towns established along

the river to the north, allowing those towns to experience similar success as the 17th century

came to a close. Because of this, Old Saybrook was thought to be the “parent town of the whole

colony” (McCormick 1877: 142).

The Town of Old Lyme was settled as East Saybrook in 1664 by Matthew Griswold, whose

estate, Blackhall, was the first to be erected on the eastern side of the river. The town was

incorporated under the name Lyme just 3 years later, named after Griswold’s hometown of

Lyme Regis, England (like Old Saybrook, the name was changed to Old Lyme in the mid-19th

century). Years later, the town’s boundary with New London to the east was resolved by a

“bare-knuckle fight between two champions from each town,” in which Old Lyme was the victor

(Roberts 1906: 63).

The towns of Old Saybrook and Old Lyme were linked by a ferry which was established in 1662

(Wood 1919). The ferry ran from Tilley’s Point, now known as Ferry Point, and was first

managed by Old Saybrook resident John Whittlesey and his brother-in-law, William Dudley

(Hinman 1846). Whittlesey, who lived nearby, and Dudley were compensated with the fares

paid by non-residents of Old Saybrook (ibid). The two men also arranged to built a road leading

to the ferry and to construct a ferryboat that could carry up to three horses at a time as well as

passengers (ibid). The Whittlesley family continued to run the ferry until 1839, at which time it

was taken over by the towns of Old Saybrook and Old Lyme who ran it until the construction of

a bridge for automobiles crossed the river in 1911 (Ely and Plimpton 1991).

By 1672, the Nehantics had sold all of their land to English settlers (ibid) while the Pequots had

fled from the area (Swanton 2003). Although a reservation was established for the remaining

Nehantics in the town of Old Lyme during the early 18th century, the remaining Native

Americans were quickly integrated into the society of the settlers (DeForest 1853). As the 17th

century came to a close, the towns of the Connecticut River Valley, including Old Lyme and Old

Saybrook, became agricultural centers, exporting items such as “pork, beef, wheat, rye, barley,

corn, wool, [and] apples” to major cities like Boston and New York (Hubbard 1993).

Dear Mr. Valenstein:

The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) recently received the supporting documentation 

regarding the adverse effects of the referenced project on properties listed on and eligible for listing in the 

National Register of Historic Places. Based upon the information that was provided, we have concluded 

that Appendix A, Criteria for Council Involvement in Reviewing Individual Section 106 Cases, of our 

regulations, “Protection of Historic Properties” (36 CFR Part 800), does not apply to this undertaking. 

Accordingly, we do not believe that our participation in the consultation to resolve adverse effects is 

needed. However, if we receive a request for participation from the State Historic Preservation Officer 

(SHPO), Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, affected Indian tribe, a consulting party, or other party, we 

may reconsider this decision. Additionally, should circumstances change, and you determine that our 

participation is needed to conclude the consultation process, please notify us. 

Pursuant to 36 CFR §800.6(b)(1)(iv), you will need to file the final Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), 

developed in consultation with the Connecticut SHPO and any other consulting parties, and related 

documentation with the ACHP at the conclusion of the consultation process. The filing of the MOA and 

supporting documentation with the ACHP is required in order to complete the requirements of Section 106

of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to review this undertaking. If you have any questions,

please contact Louise Brodnitz at 202-606-8527, or via email at lbrodnitz@achp.gov.

Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project Memorandum of Agreement

MOA-3

STIPULATIONS

FRA, AMTRAK, AND CTSHPO AGREE THAT THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL BE

UNDERTAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT AND THAT FRA WILL INCLUDE

THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AS PART OF ITS FINDING OF NO

SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO ENSURE THAT THESE MEASURES ARE IMPLEMENTED AS

PART OF THE COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECTION 106 PROCESS AND THE

SUBSEQUENT PLANNING, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION OF ANY APPROVED

PROJECT ALTERNATIVE.

I. MITIGATION OF UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE EFFECTS

Mitigation for potential adverse effects on the Connecticut River Bridge, which is a contributing

property within the Moveable Bridges on the Northeast Corridor in Connecticut Thematic District

(SR-listed; NR-eligible) would be developed by Amtrak in consultation with FRA and CTSHPO and

would include the following:

A. Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) documentation of Connecticut River Bridge.

HAER documentation will include narratives that describe in detail the physical characteristics of the

structure (including its engineering, design and setting), and that interpret its history, focusing on its

design and construction as the largest of several significant movable bridges on the Northeast

Corridor. The interpretation of the bridge’s significance will be based on a detailed historical

engineering context of early 20th century movable bridges and will draw on other contemporary

examples within the Northeast Corridor. Specific attention will be afforded to interpretation of how

contemporary engineering and materials science constraints and cost considerations affected the final

design and construction of this bridge. Primary and secondary resources will be used in the research

effort, including historic engineering literature, United States Army Corps of Engineers Reports, the

files of Amtrak, newspapers and periodicals, and the collections of libraries, historical societies, and

other repositories in New York and Connecticut. The compiled information, which could include

historic plans, photographs, and other documents, will be duplicated to appropriate archival standards

as part of the recordation document. The HAER recordation would also include photographic

documentation of the Connecticut River Bridge. Photographs, prints, and duplicates would be meet

appropriate HAER archival standards.

A draft copy of the report and accompanying materials would be submitted to CTSHPO for review

and comment. Final copies of the recordation document will be provided to the CTSHPO, the

Thomas J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut, the Old Saybrook Historical

Society, and the Old Lyme Historical Society.

B. Salvage of elements of the Connecticut River Bridge, such as truss components, pier materials,

tracks, etc. Amtrak will develop a list of potentially salvageable items for review and comment by

CTSHPO. Amtrak will also develop and implement a marketing plan for review by CTSHPO, which

will outline a protocol for making a reasonable and good faith effort to identify entities that would

accept salvaged elements for publicly visible display or reuse. Amtrak would not be expected to pay

extraordinary or burdensome costs associated with removal, remediation, transfer, or installation of

any salvaged items.

C. Development of an interpretive exhibit in a park, greenway, or public space that would present the

history of the Connecticut River Bridge and the Moveable Bridges on the Northeast Corridor. The

location, format, and content of this exhibit will be identified by Amtrak in consultation with

CTSHPO.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project Memorandum of Agreement

MOA-4

II. DESIGN REVIEW

Amtrak in coordination with FRA shall ensure that the preliminary and final plans and specifications

for the proposed new bridge adhere to the recommended approaches in the Secretary of the Interior’s

Standards and Treatments for Historic Properties and are compatible with the historic and

engineering features of the Connecticut River Bridge and the Moveable Bridges on the Northeast

Corridor in Connecticut Historic District.

Upon completion of the Project’s Design Criteria Report during preliminary engineering, Amtrak

would consult with the CTSHPO to identify engineering constraints and opportunities for

incorporating historically compatible design into the preliminary plan. Amtrak shall consult with

CTSHPO in the development of bridge plans at the preliminary (30%) and pre-final (approximately

75%) design stages. CTSHPO will respond within 30 calendar days of receipt by the CTSHPO at

each stage of completion as described above. Amtrak will consider and respond to all comments

received from CTSHPO. If CTSHPO does not respond within the comment period, Amtrak may

assume that CTSHPO concurs with the submitted plans.

III. ADDITIONAL EVALUATION FOR AREA OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY

A. Further Impact Analyses

Since the extent of previous disturbances associated with rail construction within the Old Lyme

portion of the APE but beyond the embankments is not known, Amtrak considers those areas to

have moderate potential for precontact period archaeological resources. Should the project team

in consultation with CTSHPO determine, based on borings data or newly discovered

documentary sources, that the area adjacent to the embankments has been previously disturbed,

these areas would then be considered to have low to no potential for prehistoric archaeological

resources, and no further archaeological investigation would be warranted. If no such

determination of low to no potential is made, archaeological field testing would be necessary as

described in III.B.

B. Field Testing to Determine Presence or Absence of Archaeological Resources

If further impact analyses described in III.A determine that the Project may affect areas sensitive

for archaeological resources, Amtrak, in consultation with FRA and CTSHPO, shall undertake

field testing to identify the presence or absence of such resources (Phase 1B field testing):

1. Prior to commencing any field testing, Amtrak shall submit a Phase 1B Field Testing

Plan outlining the proposed methodology for CTSHPO’s concurrence.

2. Subsequent to field testing in sensitive areas, Amtrak shall provide a technical report to

FRA and CTSHPO in which one of the following conclusions is reached:

(i) The site does not appear to contain potentially significant (S/NR-eligible)

archaeological resources;

(ii) The site does contain potentially significant (S/NR-eligible) archaeological

resources.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project Memorandum of Agreement

MOA-5

3. CTSHPO’s review and comment on such reports shall be governed by the process set

forth in V. Document Review.

C. Field Testing to Determine Significance and Extent of Archaeological Resources

If Phase 1B field testing determines that potentially significant archaeological resources exist in

areas that will be impacted by the Project, Amtrak in consultation with FRA and CTSHPO, shall

undertake additional field investigations to identify the physical extent of such resources and to

determine their significance (Phase 2 field testing):

1. Prior to commencing any further field testing, Amtrak shall submit a Phase 2 Field

Testing Plan outlining the proposed methodology for CTSHPO’s concurrence.

2. Subsequent to Phase 2 field testing in sensitive areas, Amtrak shall provide a technical

report to FRA and CTSHPO in which one of the following conclusions is reached:

(i) The site contains significant (S/NR-eligible) archaeological resources;

(ii) The site does contain significant (S/NR-eligible) archaeological resources.

3. CTSHPO’s review and comment on such reports shall be governed by the process set

forth in V. Document Review.

D. Mitigation Data Recovery, Curation, and Public Interpretation

If Phase 2 field testing determines that significant archaeological resources exist in areas that will

be impacted by the Project and that such impacts cannot be avoided, Amtrak in consultation with

FRA and CTSHPO, shall develop and implement appropriate measures to minimize and/or

mitigate adverse effects on archaeological resources in the APE:

1. Amtrak and FRA, in consultation with CTSHPO, shall consider measures, such as

design modification, for avoidance of significant archaeological resources.

2. In advance of any mitigation or data recovery efforts undertaken for significant

archaeological sites in the APE, Amtrak, in consultation with CTSHPO, will develop in

accordance with 36 CFR Part 79, an Analysis and Curation of Material and Records

Plan for any archaeological excavations. CTSHPO’s review and comment on such plans

shall be governed by the process set forth in V. Amtrak shall be responsible for the

implementation of such a plan, as appropriate.

3. During and/or following mitigation or data recovery efforts, Amtrak will consult with

CTSHPO as to the appropriateness of creating and providing interpretive materials to

the public. If appropriate, Amtrak will develop a Public Outreach Plan for Archaeology

which would be submitted to CTSHPO for review and comment. Such materials could

take the form of a nomination of the archaeological site as a Connecticut State Preserve,

or preparation of brochure, information kiosk, or web page to provide information on

the data recovery program and any archaeological resources uncovered as a result of
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project Memorandum of Agreement

MOA-6

that program. Amtrak will implement the final Public Outreach Plan for Archaeology,

as appropriate.

E. Unanticipated Discoveries Plan

Amtrak in consultation with FRA shall develop and implement an Unanticipated Discoveries Plan

for human and non-human archaeological resources in the event that any unanticipated

archaeological resources are encountered during construction of the Project. The Unanticipated

Discoveries Plan would be submitted to CTSHPO for review and comment.

F. Construction and Archaeology Phasing Plan

Amtrak will take all practical steps to initiate and complete archaeological field analysis and data

recovery, as necessary (depending on site access and testing feasibility), prior to construction

activities in the vicinity of affected resources. Amtrak in consultation with CTSHPO, will

develop a plan to appropriately phase the archaeological field analysis and data recovery with

construction activities. CTSHPO’s review and comment on such plans shall be governed by the

process set forth in V. Document Review.

G. Professional Standards

Amtrak shall ensure that all archaeological research, testing, analysis, and plans conducted

pursuant to this Agreement are carried out by or under the direct supervision of a person or

persons meeting at a minimum the Secretary of Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards

for archaeology. Amtrak shall ensure that all final reports are consistent with the Connecticut

Commission on Culture & Tourism’s Environmental Review Primer for Connecticut’s

Archaeological Resources and the Department of the Interior’s Standards for Archaeological

Documentation.

IV. IDENTIFICATION OF ADDITIONAL BUILT PROPERTIES AND ASSESSMENT OF

PROJECT EFFECTS

A. If additional Historic Properties not previously identified as Historic Properties in the EA are

identified in the Project’s APEs during Preliminary Engineering, Final Design, or Construction

of the Project, the potential effects on Historic Properties will be assessed prior to construction

by FRA and Amtrak, in consultation with CTSHPO, in accordance with the Section 106 process.

CTSHPO review will be carried out in compliance with the stipulations of V. Document Review.

B. If construction activities or Project plans change such that the Project may newly affect an

archaeologically sensitive area, Amtrak and FRA shall notify CTSHPO and invite CTSHPO to

participate in consultation to determine the appropriate course of action.

V. DOCUMENT REVIEW

CTSHPO shall provide comments regarding any future plans and/or amendments to such plans as

promptly as possible but not to exceed 30 calendar days of its receipt of such plans or reports. If

CTSHPO does not submit comments in writing to FRA and Amtrak within 30 calendar days of

receipt of any such submissions, it is understood that CTSHPO has concurred with the proposed

plans. If CTSHPO objects in writing within 30 calendar days of its receipt of any submissions,

then FRA, Amtrak, and CTSHPO shall consult expeditiously in an effort to resolve the objection.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project Memorandum of Agreement

MOA-7

If FRA and Amtrak cannot resolve CTSHPO’s objection and if further consultation with

CTSHPO is deemed unproductive by any party, then the parties shall adhere to the dispute

resolution procedures detailed under VII. below.

VI. REPORTING AND OVERSIGHT

A. Final Reports. Amtrak shall ensure that all final historic reports and all final archaeological

resources reports resulting from this Agreement shall be provided to CTSHPO and FRA.

B. Annual Review of the Agreement. The signatories to this Agreement, or their successors,

will review the implementation of this Agreement and determine whether revisions are

needed on an annual basis.

VII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event CTSHPO objects in writing to any plan or report proposed pursuant to this

Agreement within 30 calendar days of its receipt of such plan or report, FRA and Amtrak shall

meet with CTSHPO to resolve the objection. Following such further consultation, FRA shall

determine as promptly as possible whether such objection has been satisfactorily resolved. If

FRA determines that the objection has not been satisfactorily resolved, within 15 calendar days

of its determination in this regard, FRA shall forward all documentation relevant to the dispute,

including FRA’s proposed resolution of the dispute, to the Advisory Council on Historic

Preservation (ACHP). ACHP will provide FRA with recommendations or comments within 30

calendar days after receipt of all pertinent documentation. FRA will take such recommendations

or comments into account in reaching a final decision regarding the dispute. In the event ACHP

fails to respond to FRA’s request for recommendations or comments within 30 calendar days of

receiving all pertinent documents, FRA may resolve the dispute.

VIII. OTHER

A. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any party may propose an

amendment hereto whereupon the parties will consult to consider such amendments.

Re: Request for Natural Diversity Data Base (NDDB) State Listed Species Review, National 

Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project, 

Old Saybrook, Middlesex County, and Old Lyme, New London County, Connecticut

Dear Ms. Zyko:

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is proposing improvements through its 

Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project (proposed project) to the Connecticut River Bridge (also 

known as “CONN” or the “Old Saybrook-Old Lyme Bridge”) located between the Town of Old Saybrook 

in Middlesex County and the Town of Old Lyme in New London County, Connecticut. The existing 

bridge is more than a century old and is nearing the end of its useful life. The purpose of the proposed 

project is to improve the aging bridge, enhance its reliability and long-term serviceability, and ensure 

continued passenger and freight rail operations along the Northeast Corridor as well as navigation along 

the Connecticut River. In 2008, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CTDEP) was 

contacted to determine whether any species of concern occur in the study area of the proposed project 

(see Figure 1). The proposed project was delayed, but is now moving forward. The parameters of the 

proposed project have not changed since our last correspondence with CTDEP. 

The Connecticut River Bridge is located along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (MP 106.89) and spans the 

Connecticut River, 3.4 miles from its terminus in Long Island Sound. The existing bridge is a two-track 

steel rail bridge, 1,570 feet in length. The bridge includes a moveable span which opens to allow marine 

traffic. A 150-foot navigation channel is located off-center in the river, closer to the eastern bank. Several 

bridge replacement alternatives are being evaluated. All project alternatives would involve the demolition 

of the existing Connecticut River Bridge.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) is being prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as lead federal agency to assess the 

environmental impacts of the proposed project. In support of this effort, and on behalf of Amtrak, I have 

enclosed a request for Natural Diversity Data Base (NDDB) State Listed Species Review for threatened, 

endangered, and special concern species and habitats under the jurisdiction of the Department of Energy 

& Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) within a 1⁄2 mile of the proposed project site. The information 

provided by CTDEEP will be used for the environmental evaluations in the EA. However, maps showing 

specific locations of sensitive species or habitats developed from lists provided by CTDEEP will not be 

published in any document.

Part III: Site Information

This request can only be completed for one site. A separate request must be filed for each additional site.

1. SITE NAME AND LOCATION

Site Name or Project Name: Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project 

Town(s): Town of Old Saybrook and Town of Old Lyme

Street Address or Location Description: 

The Connecticut River Bridge is located along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (MP 106.89) and 

spans the Connecticut River, 3.4 miles from its terminus in Long Island Sound.

Size in acres, or site dimensions: The existing bridge is a two-track steel rail bridge, 1,570 feet in 

length. A 150-foot navigation channel is located off-center in the river, closer to the eastern bank. 

Several bridge alternatives are being evaluated. All project alternatives would involve the 

demolition of the existing Connecticut River Bridge and the replacement of a new bridge at or

immediately adjacent to the existing location. 

Latitude and longitude of the center of the site in decimal degrees (e.g., 41.23456 -71.68574): 

Latitude: 41.31 Longitude: 72.35

Method of coordinate determination (check one):

GPS Photo interpolation using CTECO map viewer Other (specify): ESRI ArcMap

2a. Describe the current land use and land cover of the site.

The project site consists of a two track railroad bridge over the Connecticut River. Upland areas 

of the project site are restricted to the railroad embankements. Much of the area immediately 

surrounding the Connecticut River Bridge is characterized by undisturbed tidal marshes. Marinas 

are located on the west side of the river (Old Saybrook) to the north and west of the existing 

bridge.

b. Check all that apply and enter the size in acres or % of area in the space after each checked category.
DEP-APP-007 3 of 5 Rev. 09/7/11

Industrial/Commercial Residential Forest

Wetland 45% Field/grassland Agricultural

Water 45% Utility Right-of-way

Transportation Right-of-way 100% Other (specify): Note that the project site is 100% 

transportation right-of-way (ROW). Approximately 45% of the ROW is wetland and 45% is water. 

Approximately 10% is disturbed upland railroad embankment.

Part IV: Project Information

1. PROJECT TYPE:

Choose Project Type: Bridge work , If other describe: 

2. Is the subject activity limited to the maintenance, repair, or improvement of an existing structure within the 

existing footprint? Yes No If yes, explain.

3. Give a detailed description of the activity which is the subject of this request and describe the methods and 

equipment that will be used. 

The project is currently in the environmental assessment and conceptual engineering phase. 

Several bridge replacement alternatives are being considered. All build alternatives would include 

the decommissioning and removal of the existing Connecticut River Bridge. Construction for all 

alternatives would take place off-line from the existing bridge. All proposed alternatives would be 

within the existing Amtrak right-of-way. All alternatives would maintain the two-track 

configuration of the existing Connecticut River Bridge. Any of the six build alternatives would 

likely be constructed using the same general construction sequencing and methods. The specific 

construction means and methods will be developed after the preliminary and final design phases 

are complete. However, it is likely that construction of the bridge will involve the following: 

mobilization and use of heavy equipment; driven piles or drilled shafts, construction of temporary 

access platforms; staging areas; barges and in-water work; construction of new track. Removal of 

the existing bridge could involve cranes, barges, and expansion demolition agents. The 

construction of the new bridge and the removal of the existing bridge will require a number of 

federal and state permits. Permit applications will be submitted to CTDEEP during the next phase 

of the project. All construction activities would comply with these permits.

4. Provide a contact for questions about the project details if different from Part II primary contact.

Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project, 

Old Saybrook, Old Lyme, CT

Dear Aubrey McMahon,

I have reviewed Natural Diversity Data Base maps and files regarding the area delineated on the 

map you provided. According to our records, multiple State-listed species (RCSA Sec. 26-306) 

have been documented within or near your proposed project area.

STATE-LISTED PLANTS

The following State-listed plant species have been documented in the vicinity of the Connecticut 

River Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River between the Town of Old Saybrook and the 

Town of Old Lyme in Connecticut: 

 Bayonet grass (Bolboschoenus maritimus ssp. paludosus)

Protection Status: State Special Concern

Habitat: Salt and brackish tidal marshes. Blooms Jul, Aug, Sep.

 Salt marsh bulrush (Bolboschoenus novae-angliae)

Protection Status: State Special Concern

Habitat: Brackish tidal marshes. Blooms mid-Jul through Oct.

 Pygmyweed (Crassula aquatica)

Protection Status: State Endangered

Habitat: Tidal mud flats of estuaries near highwater limit. Blooms Jul - Sep.

 Lilaeopsis (Lilaeopsis chinensis)

Protection Status: State Special Concern

Habitat: Fresh and brackish tidal mud. Blooms Jun - Sep.

 Mudwort (Limosella australis)

Protection Status: State Special Concern

Habitat: Brackish mudflats; occurs in tidal creeks and rivers. Blooms Jun - Oct.

 Eastern prickly pear (Opuntia humifusa)

Protection Status: State Special Concern

Habitat: Dry, sandy soil or bedrock outcrops along the coast. Recognizable year-round.
To prevent impacts to State-listed plant species, please consider design or construction options 

which limit the overall ‘disturbance footprint’ within tidal wetlands and which avoid areas with 

documented populations of rare plants (see attached map).

Also, please submit an updated information request to the Connecticut Natural Diversity Data 

Base (dep.nddbrequest@ct.gov) when more detailed design plans become available. A request 

for botanical surveys may be made at that time if significant disturbance is anticipated to the 

western bank of the Connecticut River where Pygmyweed (Crassula aquatica) has been 

documented.

For more information regarding State-listed plant species, please contact Nelson DeBarros 

(nelson.debarros@ct.gov).

STATE-LISTED WILDLIFE

Many areas which this project encompasses are of unique biological significance as natural 

communities which provide important habitat for many animals. Unnecessary incursions into 

these natural communities will affect not only wildlife species, but also the ecological value of 

this area. Bird species are increasingly faced with habitat loss and degradation; two of the 

primary factors influencing their decline in Connecticut and resulting in their designation as 

listed species.

For more information regarding State-listed wildlife species, please contact Elaine Hinsch 

(elaine.hinsch@ct.gov). 

STATE-LISTED FISH

The following State-listed fish species have been documented in the lower Connecticut River:

 Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus)

Protection Status: State and Federally Endangered

 Shornose sturgeon(Acipenser brevirostrum)

Protection Status: State Threatened and Federally Endangered

 Blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis)

Protection Status: State Special Concern

The DEEP Fisheries Biologists review permit applications submitted to DEEP regulatory 

programs to determine whether projects might adversely affect listed species. DEEP Fisheries 

Biologists are routinely involved in pre-application consultations with regulatory staff and 

applicants in order to identify potential fisheries issues, and to work with applicants to mitigate 

negative effects, including those to listed species. If you have not already spoken with a Fisheries 

Biologist about your project, contact the Permit Analyst assigned to your application to obtain 

the contact information of the Fisheries Biologist assigned to review your application.

Natural Diversity Data Base information includes all information regarding critical biologic 

resources available to us at the time of the request. This information is a compilation of data 
collected over the years by the CT Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP),

Bureau of Natural Resources and cooperating units of DEEP, private conservation groups and 

the scientific community. This information is not necessarily the result of comprehensive or site 

specific field investigations. Consultations with the Data Base should not be substituted for 

on-site surveys required for environmental assessments. Current research projects and new 

contributors continue to identify additional populations of species and locations of habitats of 

concern, as well as, enhance existing data. Such new information is incorporated into the Data 

Base as it becomes available. If the proposed work has not been initiated within 12 months of 

this review, contact the NDDB for an updated review.

Please contact me if you have any questions (nelson.debarros@ct.gov; 860-424-3585). Thank 

you for consulting the Natural Diversity Data Base and continuing to work with us to protect 

State-listed species.

Re: Replacement of Connecticut River Railroad Bridge 

Dear Mr. Valenstein: 

We have reviewed your June 17, 2013, request for consultation pursuant to Section 7 ofthe 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended, regarding proposed replacement ofthe 

Connecticut River Bridge. You have determined that the proposed action is not likely to 

adversely affect species listed by us under the ESA and request our concurrence with your 

determination. We agree with your determination; the justification for our concurrence is below. 

Proposed Action 

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is proposing improvements to the 

Connecticut River Bridge, which is located near the mouth of the Connecticut River between the 

Towns of Old Saybrook and Old Lyme, CT. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is 

serving as the lead federal agency for this Environmental Assessment (EA). Amtrak has 

considered a range of improvement alternatives, including minor repairs, rehabilitation of the 

existing bridge, partial replacement, and complete replacement. Amtrak evaluated 21 build 

alternatives and identified the Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative includes replacing 

the existing bridge with a new moveable two-track bridge along a new alignment to the south of 

the existing alignment. Two feasible options have been identified for the Preferred Alternative. 

One option would replace the existing bridge with a bascule bridge and would maintain the 

existing 150-foot channel width. The other option would replace the existing bridge with a 

vertical lift bridge. This option could potentially provide for a wider channel. The exact channel 

width would be determined during preliminary engineering; however, it would provide a 

minimum of 150 feet and a maximum of 200 feet. 

Regardless ofthe type of moveable bridge and channel width, the Preferred Alternative would 

include ballast deck girders for the approach spans. It would require widening of the existing rail 

embankment for the bridge approaches. Based on Amtrak's previous experience with similar 

bridge replacement projects, a combination of embankments and retaining walls are assumed to 

be required for the bridge approaches. The use of retaining walls in certain locations would 
minimize wetland impacts. The Preferred Alternative would include new navigation channel 

fenders, regardless of whether the channel is expanded. 

The Preferred Alternative would involve the construction of temporary access roads and staging 

platforms along the existing Amtrak right-of-way and the shoreline to support in-water 

construction of embankments and retaining walls along the bridge approaches, new 

superstructure and substructure, and channel fender system. Following construction of the 

replacement bridge, the existing bridge would be decommissioned and removed. 

While construction of the substructure is not anticipated to employ driven piles, limited pile 

driving may be required for the construction of temporary construction staging platforms. To 

decrease the need for additional platform width and its associated impacts, temporary barges may 

be used. On the west side of the bridge, options are limited due to the presence of wetlands. As a 

result, the contractor may have to construct temporary platforms over adjacent wetlands on the 

west shore of the river to construct the new approach embankment, retaining walls, and approach 

spans. The staging platforms would have minimal underwater footprints and may remain in place 

for the duration of the proposed bridge construction and existing bridge demolition. 

The Preferred Alternative would not reuse any existing piers. It would require the construction of 

nine new piers-seven approach piers comprising drilled shafts supporting a reinforced concrete 

pier cap, and two moveable span piers comprising drilled shafts supporting a large concrete cap. 

The piers of the existing Connecticut River Bridge are founded either on rock or on timber piles 

installed into dense sand or gravel. This subsurface is anticipated to provide adequate foundation 

for new piers. 

All new piers would require in-water construction in the Connecticut River. The contractor 

would construct the piers from barges placed in the river with an effort to minimize disruption to 

marine navigation. Three barges may be required--one to support the shaft drilling equipment, 

one to store materials, and one to hold any spoils or excavated material. It is assumed that 4.5-

foot diameter drilled shafts would be sufficient for most piers, except at the west approaches, 

where 7-foot diameter drilled shafts may be required. Three drilled shafts would be required for 

each approach pier. Once each set of shafts is constructed, the contractor would construct a 

concrete pile cap on top. Construction of the piers in this fashion would eliminate the need for 

cofferdams. In total, each new pier would take approximately two to three months to construct. 

Multiple piers would be constructed simultaneously. 

The existing Connecticut River Bridge would be removed after constructing the replacement 

bridge and diverting all train traffic from the existing span. The existing moveable span would 

likely be floated out on barges. Approach spans would be lifted off their piers with a crane and 

placed on a barge for removal. After the removal of the superstructure, the contractor would 

remove the substructure with a barge mounted crane after breaking up the piers into smaller and 

more easily removed pieces using an expansion demolition agent without the need for 

explosives. Depending upon U.S. Coast Guard requirements, the existing timber piles would be 

removed from the pier foundations and fender system, either by removing them completely or by 

cutting them off two feet below the mudline. Turbidity curtains during demolition would be used 

2 
to control any sediment that might be disturbed. Due to the nature and location of the river 

crossing and the need for continuous operations along the Northeast Corridor, complete 

avoidance of wetland and open water areas would not be feasible for the Preferred Alternative. 

Based on the conceptual bridge design described above, it is estimated that the Preferred 

Alternative would result in approximately 2.8 acres of permanent wetland impacts and 0.74 acres 

of permanent open water impacts. Removal of the existing Connecticut River Bridge may result 

in approximately 0.33 acres of restored open water, for a net project impact of 0.41 acres. Based 

on the conceptual bridge design and the anticipated construction means and methods, it is 

estimated that approximately 3.2 acres of wetlands and 2.0 acres of open water will be 

temporarily impacted during the construction period. 

NMFS Listed Species in Action Area 

The action area is defined as "all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the Federal action 

and not merely the immediate area involved in the action" (50 CFR § 402.02). For this project, 

the action area includes the project footprint of the proposed bridge, the bridge planned for 

demolition, areas used by barges and staging of equipment, as well as the surrounding waters of 

the Connecticut River where effects of drilling (e.g., increase in suspended sediment, underwater 

noise) will be experienced. This area is expected to encompass all of the direct and indirect 

effects of the proposed project. 

The following NMFS ESA listed species may occur in the action area: 

Shortnose Sturgeon 

A population of endangered shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) occurs in the 

Connecticut River. The population is largely divided by the Holyoke Dam, although limited 

successful downstream passage does occur. Modifications to this facility are currently ongoing 

to ensure the safe and successful upstream and downstream passage of fish, including shortnose 

sturgeon. Downstream ofthe Holyoke Dam, shortnose sturgeon wintering sites have been 

identified (SSSRT 2010) at Holyoke (rkm 140), Agawam (rkm 117), Hartford (rkm 86-82), and 

Portland, CT ( ~rkm 50). 

The downstream population segment seems to only spawn occasionally below the dam with 

limited spawning success. Because of the distance from the nearest known spawning grounds 

(approx. 140 km from the spawning area just downstream ofthe Holyoke Dam) and the higher 

salinity of the action area, shortnose sturgeon eggs or larvae, whose occurrence is limited to the 

low salinity waters near the spawning grounds, and young of the year, whose occurrence is also 

restricted to areas oflow salinity, will not occur in the action area. 

The stream reaches near Hartford, CT and Portland, CT have been identified as summer feeding 

and overwintering areas (Savoy and Pacileo 2003). Shortnose sturgeon make seasonal 

movements into the estuary, presumably to forage (Buckley and Kynard 1985). Savoy (2004) 

summarizes research done of shortnose sturgeon use of the lower Connecticut River, including 

the estuary. Tagging and telemetry data demonstrate that many shortnose sturgeon make 

downstream movements into the estuary during times of high freshwater outflow. Shortnose 

sturgeon move into the reach near rkm 6-20 between late April and mid-May. Most shortnose 

3 
sturgeon leave this area for upstream foraging sites by mid-June, although some individuals stay 

in the estuary until late July. Based on this information, subadult and adult shortnose sturgeon 

may occur in the action area at least from late April through late July. 

Atlantic Sturgeon 

There are five DPSs of Atlantic sturgeon listed as threatened or endangered. Atlantic sturgeon 

originating from the New York Bight, Chesapeake Bay, South Atlantic and Carolina DPSs are 

listed as endangered, while the Gulf of Maine DPS is listed as threatened (77 FR 5880; 77 FR 

5914; February 6, 20 12). The marine range of all five DPSs extends along the Atlantic coast 

from Canada to Cape Canaveral, Florida. 

Spawning is not known to occur in the Connecticut River and therefore there are no early life 

stages or juvenile Atlantic sturgeon in the river. After emigration from other natal estuaries, 

subadult and adult Atlantic sturgeon forage within the marine environment, typically in waters 

less than 50 min depth, using coastal bays, sounds, and ocean waters (ASSRT 2007). Adult and 

subadult Atlantic sturgeon use the Connecticut River estuary for foraging during the spring, 

summer and fall. No Atlantic sturgeon are expected to be present in the Connecticut River 

during the winter months. Based on the best available information, subadult and adult Atlantic 

sturgeon originating from any of five DPSs could occur in the action area and are likely to be 

migrating and possibly foraging opportunistically. 

Effects of the Action 

Drilling-Acoustic Effects 

Noise Associated with Drilling Operations 

Based on the best available information on drilling operations, regardless of pile size, 

source/peak levels for underwater geotechnical drills have been estimated to range from 118 to 

145 dB re 1J..tPapeak (approximately 120 dB re 1J..tP3ssEL and 130 dB re 1J..tPaRMs)1 at one meter 

from the source, with underwater noise levels decreasing to 1 01.5 dB re 1 uP a by 150 meters (7 6 

FR 80893). 

Physiological and Behavioral Effects to Atlantic or Shortnose Sturgeon 

An interagency work group, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the 

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), has reviewed the best available scientific 

information and developed criteria for assessing the potential of pile driving activities to cause 

injury to fish (Fisheries Hydroacoustic Working Group (FHWG) 2008). The workgroup 

established dual sound criteria for injury, measured 33 feet away from the pile, of206 dB re 1 

J.!Pa Peak and 187 dB accumulated sound exposure level ( dBcsEL; re: 1 J..tPa2•sec) (183 dB 

1 Note, sSEL and RMS values are estimates. The following equations were used to provide these estimates: 

sSEL=peak pressure-25; RMS=peak pressure-15 (developed by J. Stadler and D. Woodbury for NMFS pile driving 

calculations; see http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/env/bio/fisheries bioacoustics.htm). Additionally, based on NMFS 

equation to estimate cSEL levels for continuous noise sources: cSEL=dBrms - 10 log (duration of the sound source) 

(pers.comm., Amy Scholik, NMFS Protected Resources Acoustic Coordinator, email dated 4/26/20 13), estimated 

cSEL levels will be below 187 dBcsEL at any distance from the drill, regardless of the duration of the noise produced 

by drilling operations. 

4 
accumulated SEL for fish less than 2 grams). While this work group is based on the U.S. West 

coast, species similar to Atlantic sturgeon were considered in developing this guidance (green 

sturgeon). As these species are biologically similar to the species being considered herein, it is 

reasonable to use the criteria developed by the FHWG to assess Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon 

injury resulting from pile driving operations. 

Additionally, for purposes of assessing behavioral effects of pile driving at several West Coast 

projects, NMFS has employed a 150 dB re 1 f.!PaRMS sound pressure level criterion at several 

sites, including the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and the Columbia River Crossings. As 

we are not aware of any studies that have considered the behavior of Atlantic or shortnose 

sturgeon in response to pile driving noise, given the available information from studies on other 

fish species (i.e., Purser and Radford 2011; Wysocki eta!. 2007), we consider 150 dB re 1 

flPaRMs to be a reasonable estimate of the noise level at which exposure may result in behavioral 

modifications. As such, for the purposes of this consultation, we will use 150 dB re 1 flPaRMs as 

a conservative indicator of the noise level at which there is the potential for behavioral effects. 

That is not to say that exposure to noise levels of 150 dB re 1 f.!PaRMS will always result in 

behavioral modifications, but that there is the potential, upon exposure to noise at this level, to 

experience some behavioral response (e.g., temporary startle to avoidance of an ensonified area). 

In summary, based on the best available information, we believe underwater noise at, or above, 

the following levels have the potential to cause injury or behavioral modification to Atlantic or 

shortnose sturgeon: 

Organism Injury* Behavioral Modification 

206 dB re 1 f.!Pareak and 187 

Sturgeon dBcsEL 150 dB re 1 f.!PaRMS 

*Dual Criteria 

Based on the information presented above, underwater noise levels anticipated to be produced 

during drilling operations (i.e., average 122 dB re 1 f.!Pa) will be below levels believed to cause 

injury or behavioral modification to species of sturgeon. 2 Therefore, we conclude that drilling 

noise effects to Atlantic sturgeon and shortnose sturgeon are discountable. 

Water Quality Effects ofDredging and Drilling Operations 

No dredging is anticipated during this project. Drilling operations will disturb sediments and 

may cause a temporary increase in suspended sediments. Silt curtains will be employed during 

in-water work. If any sediment plume does occur, it is expected to be localized to the project 

area. Turbidity levels associated with drilling operations are expected to be only slightly elevated 

above background levels (average range of 10.0 to 120.0 mg/L) (ACOE 2001, Anchor 

2 NOAA fisheries recognizes that a single strike SEL (sSEL) below 150 dB re 1 f.!PassEL will not contribute to the 

overall cSEL because it has virtually no effect on a fish; that is it will never accumulate to levels reaching 187 dB re 

1 f.!PacsEL and therefore, are considered levels of"effective quiet (Stadler and Woodbury 2009)." As such, sSe I 

levels of 120 dB re 1 f.!PassEL, will not attain a cSEL level of 187 dB re 1 f.!PacsEL at any distance from the pile being 

drilled. 

5 
Environmental 2003), while dredging operations are expected to produce turbidity levels of 

approximately 50.0-75.0 mg/L (ACOE 2001). 

Studies of the effects of turbid waters on fish suggest that concentrations of suspended solids can 

reach thousands of milligrams per liter before an acute toxic reaction is expected (Burton 1993). 

TSS is most likely to affect sturgeon if a plume causes a barrier to normal behaviors or if 

sedimem settles on the bottom affecting sturgeon prey. As Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon are 

highly mobile, they are likely to be able to avoid any sediment plume and any effect on 

movements is likely to be insignificant. While the increase in suspended sediments may cause 

Atlantic sturgeon or shortnose sturgeon to alter their normal movements, any change in behavior 

is likely to be insignificant as it will only involve movements to alter course out of the sediment 

plume and is not likely to affect the overall movement or migration ability of sturgeon. 

Additionally, the TSS levels expected for drilling (1 0.0 to 120.0 mg/L) are below those shown to 

have an adverse effect on fish (580.0 mg/L for the most sensitive species, with 1,000.0 mg/L 

more typical; see summary of scientific literature in Burton 1993) and benthic communities 

(390.0 mg/L (EPA 1986)); therefore, effects to benthic resources that sturgeon may eat are 

unlikely. Based on this information, the effect of suspended sediment resulting from drilling 

activities on Atlantic sturgeon or shortnose sturgeon will be insignificant. 

Vessel Traffic 

The proposed project will not result in new vessel routes since this area of the river is already 

open to vessel traffic and contains a similar bridge in the action area. However, as listed species 

of sturgeon may occur in the action area where barges may be transiting to and from there is a 

potential for vessels to interact with these listed species. 

Atlantic Sturgeon 

Although there have been no documented reports of barges colliding with Atlantic sturgeon, 

vessel strikes have been identified as a threat to Atlantic sturgeon and this species is known to be 

vulnerable to interactions with vessels. While the exact number of Atlantic sturgeon killed as a 

result of being struck by boat hulls or propellers is unknown, it is an area of concern. The factors 

relevant to determining the risk to Atlantic sturgeon from vessel strikes are currently unknown, 

but they may be related to size and speed of the vessels, navigational clearance (i.e., depth of 

water and draft of the vessel) in the area where the vessel is operating, and the behavior of 

Atlantic sturgeon in the area (e.g., foraging, migrating, etc.). As described above, Atlantic 

sturgeon are likely to be primarily using the action area as a migration corridor to and from 

spawning, overwintering, and/or foraging sites along the U.S. eastern coastline. Based on 

available information, it is believed that when migrating, Atlantic sturgeon are found primarily at 

mid-water depths (Cameron 201 0) and while foraging, within the bottom meter of the water 

column. As depths within the navigable portions of the action area are 10 to 21 feet mean lower 

low water, there should be sufficient clearance between the underkeel of the barge and the 

bottom that Atlantic sturgeon should be able to continue essential behaviors (e.g., migration, 

foraging) without an interaction with a barge. However, Atlantic sturgeon are not restricted to 

these depths, and on occasion, have been known to occur in the upper water column. Similar to 

sea turtles, it may be assumed that Atlantic sturgeon are more likely to avoid injury from slowermoving vessels since the sturgeon has more time to maneuver and avoid the vessel. As the speed 

6 
ofthe barge/towing vessel is expected to move slowly (e.g., no more than 5.0 knots), this will 

likely reduce the chances of collision with an Atlantic sturgeon. Based on this and the best 

available information, an interaction of a barge/vessel and an Atlantic sturgeon is discountable. 

Shortnose Sturgeon 

There is limited information on the effects of vessel operations on shortnose sturgeon; however, 

it is believed that as shortnose sturgeon are benthic species, that their movements are limited to 

the bottom of the water column and that vessels operating with sufficient navigational clearance 

would not pose a risk of ship strike. As depths within the navigable portions of the action area 

are 1 0 to 21 feet mean lower low water and shortnose sturgeon are expected to occur within the 

bottom meter of the water column, there is sufficient clearance between the underkeel of a barge 

and the bottom that a shortnose sturgeon will be able to continue essential behaviors (e.g., 

migration, foraging) without an interaction with barge. As a result, we expect a vessel strike by 

any of the barges operating in the action area to be extremely unlikely to occur. Based on this 

and the best available information, we have concluded that an interaction between a barge and a 

shortnose sturgeon is discountable. 

Other Construction Activities/E{[ects 

The removal of the existing bridge would include disconnecting the moveable span and approach 

spans, then floating them away on barges. The foundation piers would be broken into smaller 

pieces using an expansion demolition agent, which would result in smaller, more manageable 

pieces to lift onto barges with a crane(s) and remove without the use of explosives. Depending 

on USCG requirements, deconstruction of the existing bridge may involve pile extraction (i.e., 

pulling of piles) or cutting the piles at the mud line. Turbidity curtains will be placed around the 

extraction activities to minimize the area of turbidity exposure. Extracting piles will result in a 

temporary increase in suspended sediment; however, turbidity levels and resultant effects to ESA 

listed species of sturgeon from pulling piles will be the same as described above for drilling 

operations (see above for analysis). Therefore, the effects to Atlantic sturgeon or shortnose 

sturgeon from pile extraction will be insignificant. If piles are removed via cutting, the noise 

effects of cutting piles on shortnose sturgeon or Atlantic sturgeon will be discountable as the 

engine used to drive the hydraulics is located above the surface of the water, and thus, the actual 

pile cutter is silent. In addition, the construction and installation of the replacement platform and 

fendering system will occur above the water line where shortnose' sturgeon and Atlantic sturgeon 

do not occur and thus, no direct or indirect effects to these species will result from these 

proposed construction activities. 

Additionally, once installation of the new bridge is completed, areas of shading under and) 

around the bridge will be present. Although shading can impact dissolved oxygen levels, the 

area under consideration is generally equal to the area currently shaded by the existing bridge 

which will be removed. As such, the additional shading caused by this project will have an 

insignificant effect on shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon. The width of navigable passage under 

the new bridge will be between 150-200 feet wide, with substantial open water areas remaining 

beneath the fixed spans. As with the existing bridge, the new bridge will not cause any 

obstruction to migration for shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon and thus, will not alter the habitat in 

any way that prevents shortnose or Atlantic sturgeon from using the action area as a migratory 

7 
pathway and/or foraging grounds. Therefore, there would not be any disruption of essential 

behaviors. Based on this information, the effects of the planned Connecticut River bridge on 

shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon are expected to be insignificant and discountable. 

Conclusions 

Based on the analysis that any effects to listed species of shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon will be 

insignificant or discountable, we are able to concur with your determination that the proposed 

project is not likely to adversely affect any listed species under NMFS jurisdiction. Therefore, 

no further consultation pursuant to section 7 of the ESA is required. 

Reinitiation of consultation is required and shall be requested by the Federal agency or by the 

Service, where discretionary Federal involvement or control over the action has been retained or 

is authorized by law and: (a) If new information reveals effects of the action that may affect 

listed species or critical habitat in a manner or to an extent not previously considered in the 

consultation; (b) If the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that causes an 

effect to the listed species or critical habitat that was not considered in the consultation; or (c) If 

a new species is listed or critical habitat designated that may be affected by the identified action. 

No take is anticipated or exempted. If there is any incidental take of a listed species, reinitiation 

would be required. Should you have any questions about this correspondence please contact

COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
C.2-1 May 2014

Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

A. INTRODUCTION

The federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) of 1972 was established to encourage

coastal states to manage development within the states’ designated coastal zones, reduce

conflicts between coastal developments, and protect resources within the coastal zone.

Requirements for federal approval of coastal zone management programs and grant application

procedures for development of the state programs is included in 15 CFR Part 923, Coastal Zone

Management Program Development and Approval Regulations, National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The CZMA requires that federal activities within a

state’s coastal zone be consistent with that state’s coastal zone management plan.

Connecticut has a NOAA-approved Coastal Management Program, which is administered by the

Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP). The Connecticut

Coastal Management Act (CCMA) was enacted in 1980 and provides the statutory umbrella for

the program. The program seeks to accomplish the following: balance growth along

Connecticut’s coastline; restore coastal habitat; improve public access; protect water-dependent

uses, public trust waters, and submerged lands; promote harbor management; and facilitate

research. The Coastal Management Program also regulates work in tidal, coastal and navigable

waters and tidal wetlands under the CCMA (Section 22a-90 through 22a-112 of the Connecticut

General Statutes), the Structures Dredging and Fill Statutes (Section 22a-359 through 22a-363f)

and the Tidal Wetlands Act (Section 22a-28 through 22a-35). Development of the shoreline is

regulated at the local level through municipal planning and the zoning boards and commissions

under the policies of the CCMA, with technical assistance and oversight provided by program

staff1.

While some of the Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project site may be considered

“excluded federal lands” in accordance with Section 304 of the Federal Coastal Zone

Management Act, portions are located within the coastal zone. Since the construction of a

replacement bridge will involve bridge piers and approaches in open water and wetland areas, it

is expected that several permits from CTDEEP will be required. Permit applications will be

submitted to CTDEEP during the next phase of the project, once preliminary engineering design

is completed. At that time, Amtrak will submit a complete “Coastal Management Consistency

Review Form for Federal Activities” along with all required attachments and will seek a formal

Coastal Zone Consistency Determination from CTDEEP.

For the purposes of this environmental assessment (EA) under the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA), a preliminary coastal zone analysis has been performed based on the

conceptual engineering design and information currently available. The individual coastal

management policies are listed below, along with a discussion of whether the policy is

May 2014 C.2-2

applicable to the Connecticut River Bridge Project and, if so, whether the project is consistent

with that policy. As described in previous sections of this EA, the project entails a rail crossing

over the Connecticut River and is inherently a water-dependent use. The upland portions of the

new bridge would be constructed within the existing Amtrak right-of-way and would not create

a new transportation corridor. Furthermore, the project meets CTDEEP’s definition of a “facility

in the national interest”, which is defined in part as any improvement to the existing interstate

rail transportation system. Overall, the proposed project is consistent with Connecticut’s Coastal

Management Program.

B. POLICIES

GENERAL RESOURCES

1 CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

To preserve and enhance coastal resources in accordance with the policies established by

chapters 439 (Environmental Protection Department and State Policy), 440 (Wetlands and

Watercourses), 446i (Water Resources), 446k (Water Pollution Control), 447 (State Parks and

Forests), 474 (Pollution), and 477 (Flood Control and Beach Erosion).

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

2 CGS Section 22a-1 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

The general assembly hereby declares that the policy of the state of Connecticut is to conserve,

improve and protect its natural resources and environment and to control air, land and water

pollution in order to enhance the health, safety and welfare of the people of the state.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

3 CGS Section 22a-15 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

It is hereby found and declared that there is a public trust in the air, water and other natural

resources of the state of Connecticut and that each person is entitled to the protection,

preservation and enhancement of the same.

This policy includes a general declaration and does not apply directly to the proposed project.

4 CGS Section 22a-5, referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

The commissioner shall carry out the environmental policies of the state and shall have all

powers necessary and convenient to faithfully discharge this duty. In addition to, and consistent

with the environment policy of the state, the commissioner shall (a) promote and coordinate

management of water, land and air resources to assure their protection, enhancement and

proper allocation and utilization; (b) provide for the protection and management of plants,

trees, fish, shellfish, wildlife and other animal life of all types, including the preservation of

endangered species; (c) provide for the protection, enhancement and management of the public

forests, parks, open spaces and natural area preserves; (d) provide for the protection,

enhancement and management of inland, marine and coastal water resources, including, but not

Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-3 May 2014

particulate, gases, dust, vapors, noise, radiation, odors, nutrients and cooled or heated liquids,

gases and solids; (f) provide for control of pests and regulate the use, storage and disposal of

pesticides and other chemicals which may be harmful to man, sea life, animals, plant life or

natural resources; (g) regulate the disposal of solid waste and liquid waste, including but not

limited to, domestic and industrial refuse, junk motor vehicles, litter and debris, which methods

shall be consistent with sound health, scenic environmental quality and land use practices; (h)

regulate the storage, handling and transportation of solids, liquids and gases which may cause

or contribute to pollution; and (I) provide for minimum state-wide standards for the mining,

extraction or removal of earth materials of all types.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

BEACHES & DUNES

5 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(C)

To preserve the dynamic form and integrity of natural beach systems in order to provide critical

wildlife habitats, a reservoir for sand supply, a buffer for coastal flooding and erosion, and

valuable recreational opportunities.

6 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(C)

To insure that coastal uses are compatible with the capabilities of the system and do not

unreasonably interfere with natural processes of erosion and sedimentation.

7 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(C)

To encourage the restoration and enhancement of disturbed or modified beach systems.

8 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(K)

To require as a condition in permitting new coastal structures, including but not limited to,

groins, jetties or breakwaters, that access to, or along, the public beach below mean high water

must not be unreasonably impaired by such structures and to encourage the removal of illegal

structures below mean high water which unreasonably obstruct passage along the public beach.

According to the definition found in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(C), and field verification, there are

no beach or dune resources found at the project site. This policy does not apply to the proposed

project.

BLUFFS & ESCARPMENTS

9 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(A)

To manage coastal bluffs and escarpments so as to preserve their slope and toe.

10 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(A)

To discourage uses which do not permit continued natural rates of erosion.

11 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(A)

To disapprove uses that accelerate slope erosion and alter essential patterns and supply of

sediments to the littoral transport system.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-4

According to the definition found in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(A), and field verification, there are

no bluffs or escarpments found at the project site. The policy does not apply to the proposed

project.

COASTAL HAZARD AREA

12 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(F)

To manage coastal hazard areas so as to insure that development proceeds in such a manner

that hazards to life and property are minimized.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

13 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(F)

To promote nonstructural solutions to flood and erosion problems except in those instances

where structural alternatives prove unavoidable and necessary to protect existing inhabited

structures, infrastructural facilities or water-dependent uses.

The proposed project involves the replacement of a critical infrastructure facility—namely, the

Connecticut River Bridge. No flood control structures will be built as part of the project. The

conceptual engineering design includes a combination of filled embankment, retaining walls,

and elevated structure for the bridge approaches. This combination will minimize the extent of

permanent wetland impacts. To prevent soil erosion and control sediment during construction, a

variety of nonstructural measures will be used. Such measures will likely include silt fences, hay

bales, sedimentation basins, slope stabilization measures, and sediment booms. The proposed

project is therefore consistent with this policy.

14 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(J)

To maintain the natural relationship between eroding and depositional coastal landforms.

The proposed project will not increase the overall footprint of the bridge. Upon completion,

there will be no net increase of in-water or coastal disturbance. The project would not affect the

natural relationship between eroding and depositional landforms. The proposed project is

therefore consistent with this policy.

15 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(J)

To minimize the adverse impacts of erosion and sedimentation on coastal land uses through the

promotion of nonstructural mitigation measures.

Please see response to 13 above. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

16 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(J)

Structural solutions are permissible when necessary and unavoidable for the protection of

infrastructural facilities, water-dependent uses, or existing inhabited structures, and where there

is no feasible, less environmentally damaging alternative and where all reasonable mitigation

measures and techniques have been provided to minimize adverse environmental impacts.

Please see response to 13 above. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-5 May 2014

17 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(2)(B)

To maintain, enhance, or, where feasible, restore natural patterns of water circulation and fresh

and saltwater exchange in the placement or replacement of culverts, tide gates or other drainage

or flood control structures.

No culverts, tide gates, or other drainage or flood control structures will be constructed as part of

the proposed project. The project will maintain natural patterns of water circulation. The

proposed project is therefore consistent with this policy.

18 CGS Section 25-69 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

It is hereby found and declared that, because of the occurrence of severe storms accompanied by

winds up to hurricane force, abnormal high tides and tide flooding, the lives and property of

residents and other persons within areas exposed to such hazards are endangered, and that, in

the interest of public health, safety and general welfare, it is necessary to minimize, and as far

as possible to prevent, loss of life, property and revenue to municipalities and the state from

taxation by the construction of protective works on or near shores and beaches within such

areas. As title to the land between high and low watermark is vested in the state, it is further

found and declared to be in the public interest to secure such exposed areas by the most

economical and effective means for safeguarding life and protecting property and, because it is

uneconomical and ineffective for the general purpose for an individual landowner to attempt to

maintain protective installations separated from and lacking coextension with those of abutting

properties, that it is in the public interest to provide ways and means for collective and

cooperative action to alleviate the dangers and destruction common to such exposed areas. It is

further found and declared that because of the recurrence of severe flooding of many of the

waterways of the state and their tributaries, taking a huge toll in life and property, extensive

flood protection measures must be inaugurated. It is, therefore, found and declared to be in the

public interest that encroachment limits along waterways be established and any flood control

features at dams and reservoirs be utilized as a part of the construction and installation of any

flood control project.

The project site is located in a 100-year flood zone. The project will not require protective

installations to protect it from extreme flooding beyond the piers incorporated into basic bridge

design. No flood control structures will be constructed as part of the proposed project. The

proposed project is therefore consistent with this policy.

19 CGS Section 25-70 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

Land areas fronting on the ocean, or on bays, inlets and coves, or bordering on rivers in which

tides occur, that are subject to the full force of storms; or land areas in direct contact with storm

waves, including banks, bluffs, cliffs, promontories and headlands or similar topographical or

geological formations, that are subject to erosion through wave action; or open beach areas,

including spits, dunes and barrier beaches, that are subject to loss of sand through high waves,

strong currents or scouring wave action; or land areas subject to inundation during storms or

vulnerable to storm damage because of geographic situation, may be classed as exposed areas

within the meaning of Sections 25-69 to 25-75, inclusive. The limits of such areas shall be the

extent of the natural configuration of the land surface not necessarily co-extensive with political

boundaries, and shall include privately-owned and municipally-owned properties upon which

public money may be spent and public debt incurred for the protection and conservation thereof,

and taxes levied to support expenditures for such purposes.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-6

While some of the Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project site may be considered

“excluded federal lands” in accordance with Section 304 of the Federal Coastal Zone

Management Act, portions are located within the coastal zone. The proposed project site is

located in a tidal portion of the Connecticut River and therefore may be considered an “exposed

area,” according to this definition. However, as mentioned above, the project will not require

protective installations to protect it from extreme flooding beyond the structural elements

incorporated into basic design. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

20 CGS Section 22a-342 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

The commissioner shall establish, along any tidal or inland waterway or flood-prone area

considered for stream clearance, channel improvement or any form-of flood control or flood

alleviation measure, lines beyond which, in the direction of the waterway or flood-prone area,

no obstruction or encroachment shall be placed by any person, firm or corporation, public or

private, unless authorized by said commissioner. The commissioner shall issue or deny permits

upon applications for establishing such encroachments based upon his findings of the effect of

such proposed encroachments upon the flood carrying and water storage capacity of the

waterways and floodplain, flood heights, hazards to life and property, and the protection and

preservation of the natural resources and ecosystems of the state, including but not limited to

ground and surface water, animal, plant and aquatic life, nutrient exchange, and energy flow,

with due consideration given to the results of similar encroachments constructed along the reach

of waterway.

No stream clearance, channel improvement, or flood control will be performed under the

proposed project. This policy does not apply directly to the proposed project.

21 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(K)

To require as a condition in permitting new coastal structures, including but not limited to,

groins, jetties or breakwaters, that access to, or along, the public beach below mean high water

must not be unreasonably impaired by such structures and to encourage the removal of illegal

structures below mean high water which unreasonably obstruct passage along the public beach.

According to the definition found in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(C), and field verification, there are

no beach or dune resources found at the project site. The policy does not apply to the proposed

project.

COASTAL WATERS & ESTUARINE EMBAYMENTS

22 CGS Section 22a-422 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

It is found and declared that the pollution of the waters of the state is inimical to the public

health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the state, is a public nuisance and is harmful to

wildlife, fish and aquatic life and impairs domestic, agricultural, industrial, recreational and

other legitimate beneficial uses of water, and that the use of public funds and the granting of tax

exemptions for the purpose of controlling and eliminating such pollution is a public use and

purpose for which public moneys may be expended and tax exemptions granted, and the

necessity and public interest for the enactment of this chapter and the elimination of pollution is

hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination.

This policy includes a general declaration and does not apply directly to the proposed project.
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-7 May 2014

23 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(2)(A)

To manage estuarine embayments so as to insure that coastal uses proceed in a manner that

assures sustained biological productivity, the maintenance of healthy marine populations and

the maintenance of essential patterns of circulation, drainage and basin configuration.

While mitigation measures such as silt curtains would be employed during in-water work, it is

possible that some sediment may escape such controls. However any temporary sediment resuspension associated with pier installation or other construction activities would be localized to

the project site. Therefore, in-water construction activities associated with the proposed project

would not be expected to result in significant adverse impacts to marine populations in the

Connecticut River in the project area. The replacement bridge would not have a larger footprint

than the existing bridge and therefore would not interfere with patterns of circulation in the river.

The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

24 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(2)(A)

To protect, enhance and allow natural restoration of eelgrass flats except in special limited

cases, notably shellfish management, where the benefits accrued through alteration of the flat

may outweigh the long-term benefits to marine biota, waterfowl, and commercial and

recreational finfisheries.

The fluctuating salt wedge present in the project area precludes the establishment of eelgrass in

the Connecticut River. This policy does not apply to the proposed project.

25 CGS Section 22a-426(a) as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

The commissioner of environmental protection shall adopt, and may thereafter amend,

standards of water quality applicable to the various waters of the state or portions thereof as

provided in subdivision (a) of Section 22a-6. Such standards shall be consistent with the federal

Water Pollution Control Act and shall be for the purpose of qualifying the state and its

municipalities for available federal grants and for the purpose of providing clear and objective

public policy statements of a general program to improve the water resources of the state;

provided no standard of water quality adopted shall plan for, encourage or permit any wastes to

be discharged into any of the waters of the state without having first received the treatment

available and necessary for the elimination of pollution. Such standards of quality shall: (1)

apply to interstate waters or portions thereof within the state; (2) apply to such other waters

within the state as the commissioner may determine is necessary; (3) protect the public health

and welfare and promote the economic development of the state; (4) preserve and enhance the

quality of state waters for present and prospective future use for public water supplies,

propagation of fish and aquatic life and wildlife, recreational purposes and agricultural,

industrial and other legitimate uses; (5) be consistent with health standards as established by

the state department of health.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

DEVELOPED SHOREFRONT

26 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(G)

To promote, through existing state and local planning, development, promotional and regulatory

programs, the use of existing developed shorefront areas for marine-related uses, including but
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-8

not limited to commercial and recreational fishing, boating and other water-dependent

commercial, industrial and recreational uses.

As stated in Chapter 1 of this EA, the purpose of the Connecticut River Bridge Replacement

Project is to improve the aging bridge, enhance its reliability and long-term serviceability, and

ensure continued passenger and freight rail operations along the Northeast Corridor as well as

navigation along the Connecticut River. Specific goals and objectives were developed based on

this project purpose. Goal No. 3 and its corresponding objectives are as follows:

Goal No. 3—Minimize conflicts with maritime traffic.

 Objective: Minimize delays to trains and/or marine traffic due to bridge

operations.

 Objective: Provide sufficient vertical clearance and channel width for

commercial and recreational traffic on the Connecticut River.

 Objective: Minimize construction-period impacts to rail operations and

navigation.

The proposed improvements to the bridge will enhance navigation in the area. The proposed

project is therefore consistent with this policy.

FRESHWATER WETLANDS & WATERCOURSES

27 CGS Section 22a-36 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

It is, therefore, the purpose of Sections 22a-36 to 22a-45, inclusive, to protect the citizens of the

state by making provisions for the protection, preservation, maintenance and use of the inland

wetlands and watercourses by minimizing their disturbance and pollution; maintaining and

improving water quality in accordance with the highest standards set by federal, state or local

authority; preventing damage from erosion, turbidity or siltation; preventing loss of fish and

other beneficial aquatic organisms, wildlife and vegetation and the destruction of the natural

habitats thereof; deterring and inhibiting the danger of flood and pollution; protecting the

quality of wetlands and watercourses for their conservation, economic, aesthetic, recreational

and other public and private uses and values; and protecting the state's potable fresh water

supplies from the dangers of drought, overdraft, pollution, misuse and mismanagement by

providing an orderly process to balance the need for the economic growth of the state and the

use of its land with the need to protect its environment and ecology in order to forever guarantee

to the people of the state, the safety of such natural resources for their benefit and enjoyment

and for the benefit and enjoyment of generations yet unborn.

28 CGS Section 22a-41(a) as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

In carrying out the purposes and policies of Sections 22a-36 to 22a-45, inclusive, including

matters relating to regulating, licensing and enforcing of the provisions thereof, the

commissioner shall take into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances, including but

not limited to:

(1) The environmental impact of the proposed action;

(2) The alternatives to the proposed action;

(3) The relationship between short-term uses of environment and the maintenance and

enhancement of long-term productivity;
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-9 May 2014

(4) Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources which would be involved in

the proposed activity;

(5) The character and degree of injury to, or interference with, safety, health or the

reasonable use of property which is caused or threatened; and

(6) The suitability or unsuitability of such activity to the area for which it is proposed.

NWI-mapped non-tidal freshwater wetlands (see Figure 10-3 in Chapter 10 “Natural

Resources”) are not present within the vicinity of the study area. Figure 1 shows a freshwater

wetland/undesignated tidal wetland in the study area along the west side of the river that was

mapped by CTDEEP in 1979. More recent mapping by CTDEEP (1990) shows this wetland as a

tidal wetland. Therefore, the proposed project will not affect freshwater wetlands and is

consistent with this policy.

INTERTIDAL FLATS

29 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(D)

To manage intertidal flats so as to preserve their value as a nutrient source and reservoir, a

healthy shellfish habitat and a valuable feeding area for invertebrates, fish and shorebirds.

As shown on Figure 1, the proposed project will not affect intertidal flats and is therefore

consistent with this policy.

30 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(D)

To encourage the restoration and enhancement of degraded intertidal flats.

Please see response to 29 above.

31 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(D)

To allow coastal uses that minimize change in the natural current flows, depth, slope,

sedimentation and nutrient storage functions.

Please see response to 29 above.

32 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(D)

To disallow uses that substantially accelerate erosion or lead to significant despoliation of tidal

flats.

Please see response to 29 above.

33 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(K)

To require as a condition in permitting new coastal structures, including but not limited to

groins, jetties or breakwaters, that access to, or along, the public beach below mean high water

must not be unreasonably impaired by such structures.

According to the definition found in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(C), and field verification, there are

no beach or dune resources found at the project site. The policy does not apply to the proposed

project.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-10

ISLANDS

34 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(H)

To manage undeveloped islands in order to promote their use as critical habitats for those bird,

plant and animal species which are indigenous to such islands or which are increasingly rare on

the mainland.

35 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(H)

To maintain the value of undeveloped islands as a major source of recreational open.

36 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(H)

To disallow uses which will have significant adverse impacts on islands or their resource

components.

According to the definition of Freshwater Wetlands and Watercourses referred to CGS Section

22a-93(7)(J) and field verification there are no islands found at the project site. The policy does

not apply to the proposed project.

ROCKY SHOREFRONT

37 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(B)

To manage rocky shorefronts so as to insure that development proceeds in a manner which does

not irreparably reduce the capability of the system to support a healthy intertidal biological

community; to provide feeding grounds and refuge for shorebirds and finfish, and to dissipate

and absorb storm and wave energies.

According to the definition of Freshwater Wetlands and Watercourses referred to CGS Section

22a-93(7)(B) and field verification there are no rocky shorefronts found at the project site. The

policy does not apply to the proposed project.

SHELLFISH CONCENTRATION AREA

38 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(I)

To manage the state's fisheries in order to promote the economic benefits of commercial and

recreational fishing, enhance recreational fishing opportunities, optimize the yield of all species,

prevent the depletion or extinction of indigenous species, maintain and enhance the productivity

of natural estuarine resources and preserve healthy fisheries resources for future generations.

A number of commercially and recreationally important shellfish are generally found in the

lower Connecticut River Estuary. These include infaunal species such as the soft clam (Mya

arenaria) and hard clam (Mercenaria mercenaria). In addition, epifaunal species such as eastern

oysters (Crassostrea virginica), bay scallops (Argopecten irradians), blue mussels (Mytilus

edulis), and blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) may be present in the lower mixing zone of the

estuary. However, the presence of these species may be ephemeral in the project area given

widely and rapidly fluctuating salinity concentrations, therefore the proposed project is not

expected to affect any shellfish habitats. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-11 May 2014

39 CGS Section 19a-98(a)

The department of health services is empowered to prohibit the taking or harvesting of shellfish

in certain tidal flats, shores and coastal waters whenever it finds by examinations and surveys

that such flats, shores or coastal waters are contaminated or polluted to the extent that the

waters do not meet standards of purity established by said department, and that shellfish

obtained therefrom may be unfit for food and dangerous to the public health. Such closure may

be permanent, temporary or contingent upon the occurrence of specified events.

This policy contains a general declaration regarding the state department of health services and

does not apply directly to the proposed project.

40 CGS Section 19a-96

The department of health services may inspect shellfish beds and areas in this state where

shellfish are grown or harvested for market, all boats, tools and appliances used in the

production and preparation of shellfish for market and all wharves or buildings where shellfish

are opened, packed and prepared for sale or shipment. It may prescribe regulations for the

sanitary growth, production and preparation of shellfish for market.

This policy contains a general declaration regarding the state department of health services and

does not apply directly to the proposed project.

41 CGS Section 19a-101

Nothing in Sections 19a-95 to 19a-101, inclusive, shall prohibit the taking of shellfish by

commercial harvesters from permanently closed areas when they are removed for transplanting

to approved areas under permits issued by the department of health services and under

supervision of state and local health agencies having jurisdiction.

This policy does not apply directly to the proposed project.

SHORELANDS

42 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(I)

To regulate shoreland use and development in a manner which minimizes adverse impacts upon

adjacent coastal systems and resources.

According to the definition of “Shorelands” provided in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(M), the

clarification provided on page 5 of the Instructions and Guidance for Completing the Coastal

Management Consistency Review Form for Federal Activities, and review of FEMA Flood

maps, the proposed project site is located fully within a 100-year coastal flood zone. This policy

does not apply to the proposed project.

TIDAL WETLANDS

43 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(E)

To preserve tidal wetlands and to prevent the despoliation and destruction thereof in order to

maintain their vital natural functions.

To accommodate the embankment extensions necessary for the proposed project, some

permanent fill in tidal wetlands and/or coastal floodplains will likely be required. Similarly,

some temporary fill will be required for construction access. The estimated project impacts to

Temporary Open Water - - 2.04 2.04

Notes: * The removal of the existing bridge may restore approximately 0.33 acres of open water, for a net

project impact of 0.41 acres of open water (0.74 – 0.33 = 0.41 acres).

Due to the nature and location of the river crossing and the need for continuous operations along

the Northeast Corridor, complete avoidance of wetland and open water areas would not be

feasible for any of the build alternatives. Consistent with Executive Order 11990, it has been

determined that there is no prudent and feasible alternative to avoid construction in wetlands and

therefore measures to minimize harm have been considered. Efforts to minimize wetland

impacts were incorporated into the conceptual design for the proposed project and will be

evaluated further in preliminary design. Sedimentation control measures, such as silt fences, hay

bales, sedimentation basins, slope stabilization measures, and sediment booms, may be added

during the final design phase to further reduce adverse impacts. The project-generated tidal

wetlands and open water impacts will be more precisely calculated during the preliminary design

and permitting phase. At that time, appropriate mitigation measures (e.g., restoration, purchasing

of wetland banking credits) will be determined through coordination with CTDEEP, USACE,

USCG, and other relevant regulatory bodies during the permit process. These mitigation

measures will ensure that the proposed project is consistent with this policy.

44 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(E)

To encourage the rehabilitation and restoration of degraded tidal wetlands.

Please see response to 43 above. Mitigation measures for the taking of tidal wetlands during the

construction of the proposed project may directly include the restoration of other wetlands in the

Connecticut River watershed or the purchase of wetland banking credits in a bank, determined

through coordination with relevant agencies. The project is consistent with this policy.

45 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(2)(E)

Where feasible and environmentally acceptable, to encourage the creation of wetlands for the

purpose of shellfish and finfish management, habitat creation and dredge spoil disposal.

Please see response to 43 and 44 above. Appropriate mitigation measures will be developed to

ensure the project’s consistency with this policy.

46 CGS Section 22a-28 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

It is declared that much of the wetlands of this state have been lost or despoiled by unregulated

dredging, dumping, filling and like activities and despoiled by these and other activities, that

such loss or despoliation will adversely affect, if not entirely eliminate, the value of such

wetlands as sources of nutrients to finfish, crustacea and shellfish of significant economic value;
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-13 May 2014

that such loss or despoliation will destroy such wetlands as habitats for plants and animals of

significant economic value and will eliminate or substantially reduce marine commerce,

recreation and aesthetic enjoyment and that such loss of despoliation will, in most cases, disturb

the natural ability of tidal wetlands to reduce flood damage and adversely affect the public

health and welfare; that such loss or despoliation will substantially reduce the capacity of such

wetlands to absorb silt and will thus result in the increased silting of channels and harbor areas

to the detriment of free navigation. Therefore, it is declared to be the public policy of this state

to preserve the wetlands and to prevent the despoliation and destruction thereof.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

47 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(B)

To disallow any filling of tidal wetlands and nearshore, offshore and intertidal waters for the

purpose of creating new land from existing wetlands and coastal waters which would otherwise

be undevelopable, unless it is found that the adverse impacts on coastal resources are minimal.

As mentioned above in 43, in order to accommodate the embankment extensions necessary for

the proposed bridge replacement alternatives, some fill in tidal wetlands and/or coastal

floodplains in the Amtrak right-of-way will likely be required. Due to the extensive presence of

tidal wetlands on both sides of the project site, the anticipated wetland impacts from the

replacement bridge are considered minimized. Some fill will also be required in open water;

however, because the Connecticut River and adjacent coastal floodplains are entirely tidal in the

project area, this fill does not impact the capacity of the river to absorb flood waters. As

mentioned above in 43, efforts to further minimize wetland impacts will be incorporated into

final bridge design and mitigation measures. The proposed project is therefore consistent with

this policy.

48 CGS Section 22a-33 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

In granting, denying or limiting any permit the commissioner or his duly designated hearing

officer shall consider the effect of the proposed work with reference to the public health and

welfare, marine fisheries, shellfisheries, wildlife, the protection of life and property from flood,

hurricane and other natural disasters, and the public policy set forth in Sections 22a-28 to 22a35 inclusive. The fact that the department of environmental protection is in the process of

acquisition of any tidal wetlands by negotiation or condemnation under the provisions of Section

26-17a, shall be sufficient basis for denial of any permit.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT

49 CGS Section 22a-92(a)(1)

To insure that the development, preservation or use of the land and water resources of the

coastal area proceeds in a manner consistent with the capability of the land and water resources

to support development, preservation or use without significantly disrupting either the natural

environment or sound economic growth.

This policy contains a general directive to state and local governments charged with the

protection and enhancement of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-14

50 CGS Section 22a-92(a)(4)

To resolve conflicts between competing uses on the shorelands adjacent to marine and tidal

waters by giving preference to uses that minimize adverse impacts on natural coastal resources

while providing long-term and stable economic benefits.

According to the definition of “Shorelands” provided in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(M), the

clarification provided on page 5 of the Instructions and Guidance for Completing the Coastal

Management Consistency Review Form for Federal Activities, and review of FEMA Flood

maps, the proposed project site is located fully within a 100-year coastal flood zone. This policy

does not apply to the proposed project.

51 CGS Section 32-23c

It is hereby found and declared that there is a continuing need in the state for: (1) Economic

development and activity to provide and maintain employment and tax revenues, promote the

export of products and services beyond state boundaries, encourage innovation in products and

services, and support or broaden the economic base of the state, the control, abatement and

prevention of pollution to protect the public health and safety, and the development and use of

indigenous and renewable energy resources to assist industrial and commercial businesses in

meeting their energy requirements; (2) the development of recreation facilities to promote

tourism, to provide and maintain employment and tax revenues and to promote the public

welfare; (3) the development of commercial and retail sales and services facilities in urban

areas to provide and maintain construction, permanent employment and tax revenues, to

improve conditions of deteriorated physical development, slow economic growth and eroded

financial health of the public and private sectors in urban areas and to revitalize the economy of

urban areas; (4) assistance to public service businesses providing transportation and utility

services in the state; (5) development of the commercial fishing industry to provide and maintain

employment and tax revenues; and (6) assistance to nonprofit and governmental entities in

financing facilities providing health, educational, charitable, community, cultural, agricultural,

consumer or other services benefiting the citizens of the state; that the availability of financial

assistance and suitable facilities are important inducements to industrial, commercial and

nonprofit enterprises to remain or locate in this state and to provide economic development

projects, recreation projects, urban projects, public service projects, commercial fishing

projects, health care projects and nonprofit projects; that there are significant barriers

inhibiting access by the authority and eligible financial institutions to the public capital markets

and expansion of the secondary loan market to assist in financing economic development and

other projects in the state; that the exercise by the authority of the powers in this chapter will

promote economic development by increasing access to the public capital markets for the

authority and eligible financial institutions; and that therefore the necessity in the public interest

and for the public benefit and good for the provisions of this chapter is hereby declared as a

matter of legislative determination. It is further found and declared that there is a necessity in

the state of creating a department of economic development to coordinate and be responsible for

matters affecting the growth of business and industry in the sate and the maintenance and

development of industry in the state as well as the promotion of tourism in the state and for the

establishment and creation of an authority to assist the department and the state to carry out the

needs and policies of the state as set forth in this section. It is further found and declared that

existing, pending and proposed federal legislation has limited and restricted and may further

limit and restrict the power of the authority to issue obligations the interest on which is exempt

from federal income taxation; that the ability of the authority to issue obligations to provide
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-15 May 2014

financing for projects is essential to the maintenance and expansion of employment and the tax

base in the state and to the economic development and health, education and general welfare of

the state; and that the issuance of obligations the interest on which may be includable in the

holder's gross income for the purposes of federal income taxation serves a needed public

purpose; and therefore the necessity in the public interest and for the public benefit and good for

the provisions of this chapter is hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination.

This policy includes general provisions for economic development in the state and does not

apply directly to the proposed project. However, the proposed project does not interfere with

any of the economic needs delineated and is therefore consistent with this policy.

BOATING

52 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(G)

To encourage increased recreational boating use of coastal waters, where feasible, by (i)

providing additional berthing space in existing harbors, (ii) limiting non-water-dependent land

uses that preclude boating support facilities, (iii) increasing state-owned launching facilities,

and (iv) providing for new boating facilities in natural harbors, new protected water areas and

in areas dredged from dry land.

The project does not include any provisions to increase berthing space or new boating facilities.

However, as mentioned above, the project will enhance navigation by minimizing conflicts

between rail and maritime traffic and improving the bridge’s reliability. The project is therefore

consistent with this policy.

53 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(H)

To protect coastal resources by requiring, where feasible, that such boating uses and facilities

(i) minimize disruption or degradation of natural coastal resources, (ii) utilize existing altered,

developed or redevelopment areas, (iii) are located to assure optimal distribution of state-owned

facilities to the statewide boating public and (iv) utilize ramps and dry storage rather than slips

in environmentally sensitive areas.

As mentioned above in 52, the project does not include any provisions to increase berthing space

or new boating facilities. Therefore, this policy does not apply to the proposed project.

54 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(I)

To protect and where feasible, upgrade facilities serving the commercial fishing and

recreational boating industries.

Please see response to 52.

55 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(I)

To maintain existing authorized commercial fishing and recreational boating harbor space

unless the demand for these facilities no longer exists or adequate space has been provided.

The proposed project is not expected to impacts commercial fishing or recreational boating

facilities in the area or decrease the amount of space available for new facilities. Therefore, the

proposed project is consistent with this policy.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-16

56 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(I)

To design and locate, where feasible, proposed recreational boating facilities in a manner which

does not interfere with the needs of the commercial fishing industry.

As mentioned above in 52, the project does not include any provisions for new boating facilities.

Therefore, this policy does not apply to the proposed project.

57 CGS Section 15-121(b)

In performance of his duties under part II the commissioner shall (1) Classify all waters and all

vessels for the purpose of establishing uniformity in the regulation of such waters and such

vessels; (2) prescribe uniform navigation aids for state waters and regulate the use of such aids;

(3) establish restricted zones or sea lanes within navigable waters and adopt regulations

pertaining thereto for the purpose of protecting the natural ecology of such waters and the

abutting shoreline from environmental damage resulting from marine accidents which cause the

release of petroleum products or other hazardous substances and materials into the waters of

the state, provided before establishing such lanes, zones and regulations the commissioner shall

consider at least the following factors: (i) The danger in transporting the type of material; (ii)

the evidence of deleterious incidents arising from the transportation of such hazardous

materials; (iii) available alternatives; (iv) the public need; and (v) the effect on interstate

commerce; and further provided any such regulations promulgated by the commissioner shall

list and define the substance and materials which are classified as hazardous; (4) prescribe

uniform standards for safety devices and equipment required by part II and certify the types of

devices and equipment which meet such standards; (5) designate and assist the several towns in

designating prohibited and restricted boating areas and waters limited to special boating

necessary for public safety; (7) study, plan and recommend the development of boating facilities,

safety education and means of improving boating safety; (8) in cooperation with the department

of health, investigate matters relating to and recommended means of improving boating

sanitation; (9) cooperate with the department of transportation and the bureau of aeronautics

concerning regulations governing the operation of seaplanes on state waters; (10) cooperate

with the United States and the several states in promoting uniformity of boating laws and

regulations and their administration and enforcement, and (11) subject to the applicable

provisions of chapter 54 and Section 4-117 and the limitations of part II, adopt such regulations

to provide for public safety and environmental quality as he finds necessary to administer and

enforce the provisions of said part and to promote the safe use and protection of waters and the

safe operation of vessels, provided the commissioner shall make no regulations respecting the

operation of vessels on Long Island Sound except as are necessary to secure inshore waters and

establish and secure restricted areas.

The proposed project does not involve the transport of any hazardous materials on the river.

Therefore, this policy does not apply to the proposed project.

COASTAL RECREATION & ACCESS

58 CGS Section 22a-92(a)(6)

To encourage public access to the waters of Long Island Sound by expansion, development and

effective utilization of state-owned recreational facilities within the coastal area that are
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-17 May 2014

consistent with sound resource conservation procedures and constitutionally protected rights of

private property owners.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

59 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(J)

To make effective use of state-owned coastal recreational facilities in order to expand coastal

recreational opportunities including the development or redevelopment of existing state-owned

facilities where feasible.

This policy applies explicitly to state and local governments charged with the protection and

enhancement of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

60 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(K)

To require as a condition in permitting new coastal structures, including but not limited to

groins, jetties or breakwaters, that access to, or along, the public beach below mean high water

must not be unreasonably impaired by such structures.

According to the definition found in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(C), and field verification, there are

no beach or dune resources found at the project site. The policy does not apply to the proposed

project.

61 CGS Section 7-131f

In making grants-in-aid for open space land acquisition or development to the commissioner of

environmental protection shall: (a) Seek to achieve a reasonable balance among all parts of the

state in the relative adequacy of present areas devoted to recreational and conservation

purposes and the relative anticipated future needs for additional areas devoted to recreational

and conservation purposes; (b) give due consideration to special park requirement needs of

urban areas; (c) wherever possible, give priority to land which will be utilized for multiple

recreational and conservation purposes; (d) give due consideration to coordination with the

plans of departments of the state and regional planning agencies with respect to land use or

acquisition and (e) give primary consideration to the needs of municipalities that have formed

local housing partnerships pursuant to the provisions of Section 8-336f.

All upland components of the replacement bridge will be constructed in the Amtrak right-of-way

and no permanent upland land acquisition will be required. This policy does not apply to the

proposed project.

62 CGS Section 22a-27 as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

To such extent as may be necessary to assure the proper operation and maintenance of areas

and facilities acquired by municipalities or regional authorities pursuant to any program

COASTAL STRUCTURES & FILLING

63 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(D)

To require that structures in tidal wetlands and coastal waters be designed, constructed and

maintained to minimize adverse impacts on coastal resources, circulation and sedimentation

patterns, water quality, and flooding and erosion, to reduce to the maximum extent practicable

the use of fill, and to reduce conflicts with the riparian rights of adjacent landowners.

Efforts to minimize wetland impacts were incorporated into the conceptual design for the

proposed project. Other sedimentation control measures, such as silt fences, hay bales,

sedimentation basins, slope stabilization measures, and sediment booms may be added during

the final design. The project will be built within the Amtrak right-of-way and no conflicts with

adjacent land are expected. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

64 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(B)

To disallow any filling of tidal wetlands and nearshore, offshore and intertidal waters for the

purpose of creating new land from existing wetlands and coastal waters which would otherwise

be undevelopable, unless it is found that the adverse impacts on coastal resources are minimal.

As mentioned above in 43 and 47, in order to accommodate the embankment extensions

necessary for the proposed bridge replacement while preserving rail traffic continuity on the

existing alignment, some fill in tidal wetlands and/or coastal floodplains in the Amtrak right-ofway will likely be required. Due to the presence of tidal wetlands to the toe of the existing

railroad embankment on both sides of the project site, the potential wetland impacts from the

construction of a replacement bridge are unavoidable, but have been minimized to the extent

possible. Some fill will also be required in open water because the Connecticut River and

adjacent coastal floodplains are entirely tidal in the project area; however, this fill does not

impact the capacity of the river to absorb flood waters. As mentioned above, efforts to further

minimize wetland impacts will be incorporated into the final bridge design and mitigation

measures will be developed.

65 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(K)

To require as a condition in permitting new coastal structures, including but not limited to,

groins, jetties or breakwaters, that access to, or along, the public beach below mean high water

must not be unreasonably impaired by such structures.

According to the definition found in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(C), and field verification, there are

no beach or dune resources found at the project site. The policy does not apply to the proposed

project.

66 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(K)

To encourage the removal of illegal structures below mean high water which unreasonably

obstruct passage along the public beach.

According to the definition found in CGS Section 22a-93(7)(C), and field verification, there are

no beach or dune resources found at the project site. The policy does not apply to the proposed

project.
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-19 May 2014

67 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(2)(B)

To maintain, enhance, or where feasible, restore natural patterns of water circulation and fresh

and saltwater exchange in the placement or replacement of culverts, tide gates or other drainage

or flood control structures.

No culverts, tide gates, drainage, or flood control structures will be constructed as part of the

proposed project. The policy does not apply to the proposed project.

68 CGS Section 22a-359(a) as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

The commissioner of environmental protection shall regulate dredging and the erection of

structures and the placement of fill, and work incidental thereto, in the tidal, coastal, or

navigable waters of the state waterward of the high tide line. Any decisions made by the

commissioner pursuant to this section shall be made with due regard for indigenous aquatic life,

fish and wildlife, the prevention or alleviation of shore erosion and coastal flooding, the use and

development of adjoining uplands, the improvement of coastal and inland navigation for all

vessels, including small craft for recreational purposes, the use and development of adjacent

lands and properties and the interests of the state, including pollution control, water quality,

recreational use of public water and management of coastal resources, with proper regard for

the rights and interests of all persons concerned.

This policy applies to state and local governments charged with the protection and enhancement

of coastal resources, not directly to the proposed project.

CULTURAL RESOURCES

69 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(J)

To require reasonable mitigation measures where development would adversely impact

historical, archaeological or paleontological resources that have been designated by the state

historic preservation officer.

The project involves modification of portions of the Northeast Corridor within the

archaeological Area of Potential Effect (APE). Only the Old Lyme portion of these alignments is

considered archaeologically sensitive since the construction of the channel in Old Saybrook in

the early 20th century would have destroyed any resources that may have once been located

there. Embankment extensions required would impact ground surfaces to the south of the current

alignment for a length of up to 1,200 feet in Old Saybrook and 1,100 feet in Old Lyme.

The project is not expected to directly affect any known or potential architectural resources

identified in the study area, with the exception of the Connecticut River Bridge itself. The

bridge is SR-listed and NR-eligible as a contributing element within the Moveable Railroad

Bridges on the Northeast Corridor in Connecticut Thematic Resource.

As the project proceeds, Amtrak and FRA will continue to participate in a consultation process

with the CTSHPO to identify potential effects on archaeological and architectural resources, as

mandated by Section 106 of the NHPA of 1966. As part of this process, measures will be

explored to avoid or minimize, to the extent practicable, any significant adverse effects to

archaeological and architectural resources. Development of these mitigation measures is set

forth in the draft Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) (included in Appendix A), to be executed

by FRA, CTSHPO, and Amtrak. Amtrak would implement the various provisions of the draft

MOA.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-20

The draft MOA describes the continuing consultation process that would be conducted as project

designs evolve and the measures to be implemented during the project’s design process to avoid,

minimize, or mitigate adverse effects of the project on historic resources. The design of the

replacement bridge would be undertaken in coordination with the CTSHPO and an effort would

be made to incorporate historically compatible designs. Mitigation for adverse effects on the

Connecticut River Bridge (a contributing element of the Moveable Railroad Bridges of the

Northeast Corridor in Connecticut Thematic Resource), could include Historic American

Engineering Record (HAER) documentation for the Connecticut River Bridge and development

of an interpretive exhibit in a park, greenway, or public space that would present the history of

the bridge and other moveable railroad bridges on the Northeast Corridor in Connecticut. This exhibit

could possibly include salvaged elements of the bridge, signage, etc.

As described above and detailed in the draft MOA, if archaeological testing determines that

S/NR-eligible archaeological resources are present in the APE and could be affected by the

project, and if avoidance of these resources during construction is not possible, mitigation

measures, such as data recovery, may be required. Data recovery and additional mitigation, if

appropriate, would be carried out in consultation with the CTSHPO. The project is therefore

consistent with this policy.

70 CGS Section 7-147a(b)

Any municipality may, by vote of its legislative body and in conformance with the standards and

criteria formulated by the Connecticut historical commission, establish within its confines an

historic district or districts to promote the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare

of the public through the preservation and protection of the distinctive characteristics of

buildings and places associated with the history of or indicative of a period or style of

architecture of the municipality, of the state or of the nation.

This policy applies to local municipalities charged with protecting historic resources and not to

the proposed project.

71 CGS Section 7-147a(c)

The legislative body of any municipality may make appropriations for the purpose of carrying

out the provisions of Sections 7-147a to 7-147k, inclusive.

This policy applies to local municipalities charged with protecting historic resources and not to

the proposed project.

72 CGS Section 10-321a

Any municipality or private organization may acquire, relocate, restore, preserve and maintain

historic structures and landmarks and may receive funds from the state and federal government

for such purposes. Grants-in-aid may be made to owners of historic structures or landmarks in

an amount not to exceed fifty percent of the non-federal share of the total cost of such

acquisition, relocation, historic preservation and restoration. Grants-in-aid shall be made

through an assistance agreement signed by the owners. Subsequent to the execution of any such

assistance agreement, advances of funds may be made by the commissioner to the owner of such

an historic structure or landmark.

This policy applies to local municipalities charged with protecting historic resources and not to

the proposed project.
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-21 May 2014

73 CGS Section 25-102a

It is found that the lower Connecticut River and the towns abutting the river possess unique

scenic, ecological, scientific and historic value contributing to public enjoyment, inspiration and

scientific study, that it is in the public interest that the provisions of this chapter be adopted to

preserve such values and to prevent deterioration of the natural and traditional riverway scene

for enjoyment of present and future generations of Connecticut citizens and that the powers of

the commissioner of environmental protection, conferred by the provisions of Section 22a-25,

should be exercised in the furtherance of the purposes hereof in conformity with his general

responsibility to preserve the natural resources of the state.

There are a number of historic and scenic resources found at the project site. The project would

result in the removal of the Connecticut River Bridge, which contributes to the character of the

Connecticut River View Corridor. In replacing the historic bridge with a new bridge, this aspect

of the corridor would be altered. These proposed bridge replacement would have dimensions and

height similar to the existing bridge. The project would not result in significant adverse impacts

to the Connecticut River View Corridor. Measures to be taken under the proposed project to

mitigate any impacts on historic or archeological resources on the project site are described

under 69 and would make the proposed project consistent with this policy.

74 CGS Section 10-321d

The commission may, using such funds as may be appropriated to it or available from any other

source, acquire by gift, grant, bequest, devise, lease, purchase or otherwise historic structures

or landmarks, including such adjacent land as may be necessary for the comfort and safety of

the visiting public, which the commission determines to be of national or state historical

importance and to be of such concern to the public at large that they should be held forever in

good condition for visitation by the public and for the protection of the heritages of the people of

this state and nation. The commission may restore, maintain and operate such properties in such

a condition as to render them suitable for public visitation and to inform the public of the

historic event or circumstance connected therewith. The commission may charge reasonable

visitation fees in order to help defray the cost of maintenance and operation.

This policy applies to local municipalities charged with protecting historic resources and not to

the proposed project.

commissioner of transportation, and shall be responsible to the commissioner for the safe and

efficient operation of such harbor and navigable waterways in accordance with the provisions of

this chapter. The commissioner may delegate, any of his powers and duties under this chapter to

such harbor masters or to any existing board of harbor commissioners, but shall at all times be

vested with responsibility for the overall supervision of the harbors and navigable waterways of

the state.

This policy contains a directive to the commissioner of environmental protection and does not

apply directly to the proposed project.

ENERGY FACILITIES

83 CGS Section 16-50g

The legislature finds that power generating plants and transmission lines for electricity and

fuels, community antenna television towers and telecommunication towers have had a

significant impact on the environment and ecology of the state of Connecticut; and that

continued operation and development of such power plants, lines and towers, if not properly

planned and controlled, could adversely affect the quality of the environment, the ecological,

scenic, historic and recreational values of the state. The purposes of this chapter are: to provide

for the balancing of the need for adequate and reliable public utility services at the lowest

reasonable cost to consumers with the need to protect the environment and ecology of the state

and to minimize damage to scenic, historic, and recreational values; to provide environmental

quality standards and criteria for the location, design, construction and operation of facilities

for the furnishing of public utility services at least as stringent as the federal environmental

quality standards and criteria, and technically sufficient to assure the welfare and protection of

the people of the state; to encourage research to develop new and improved methods of

generating, storing and transmitting electricity and fuel and of transmitting and receiving

television and telecommunications with minimal damage to the environment and other values

described above; to require annual forecasts of the demand for electric power, together with

identification and advance planning of the facilities needed to supply that demand and to

facilitate local, regional, state-wide and interstate planning to implement the foregoing

purposes.

No new power plants or transmission lines will be constructed under this project. This policy

does not apply to the proposed project.

84 CGS Section 16-50p(a)

In a certification proceeding, the council shall render a decision upon the record either granting

or denying the application as filed, or granting it upon such terms, conditions, limitations or

modifications of the construction or operation of the facility as the council may deem

appropriate. The council's decision shall be rendered within twelve months of the filing of an

application concerning a facility described in subdivisions (1) to (3), inclusive, of subsection (a)

of Section 16-50i or subdivision (4) of said subsection if the application was incorporated in an

application concerning a facility described in subdivision (1) of said subsection, and within one

hundred eighty days of the filing of any other application concerning a facility described in

subdivision (4) of said subsection and an application concerning a facility described in

subdivisions (5) and (6) of said subsection, provided such time periods may be extended by the

council by not more than one hundred eighty days with the consent of the applicant. The council

shall file, with its order, an opinion stating in full its reasons for the decision. The council shall

not grant a certificate, either as proposed or as modified by the council, unless it shall find and

determine: (1) A public need for the facility and the basis of the need; (2) the nature of the

probable environmental impact, including a specification of every significant adverse effect,

whether alone or cumulatively with other effects, on, and conflict with the policies of the state

concerning the natural environment, ecological balance, public health and safety, scenic,

historic and recreational values, forests and parks, air and water purity and fish and wildlife;

(3) why the adverse effects or conflicts referred to in subdivision (2) of this subsection are not

sufficient reason to deny the application; (4) in the case of an electric transmission line, (A)

what part, if any, of the facility shall be located overhead, (B) that the facility conforms to a

long-range plan for expansion of the electric power grid of the electric systems serving the state

and interconnected utility systems and will serve the interests of electric system economy and

reliability, and (C) that the overhead portions of the facility, if any, are consistent with the

purposes of this chapter, with such regulations as the council may adopt pursuant to subsection

(a) of Section 16-50t, and with the Federal Power Commission "Guidelines for the Protection of

Natural Historic Scenic and Recreational Values in the Design and Location of Rights-of-Way

and Transmission Facilities" or any successor guidelines and any other applicable federal

guidelines; (5) in the case of an electric or fuel transmission line, that the location of the line

will not pose an undue hazard to persons or property along the area traversed by the line.

No new power plants or transmission lines will be constructed under this project. This policy

does not apply to the proposed project.

FISHERIES

85 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(I)

OPEN SPACE & AGRICULTURAL LANDS

97 CGS Section 12-107a

It is hereby declared (a) that it is in the public interest to encourage the preservation of farm

land, forest land and open space land in order to maintain a readily available source of food

and farm products close to the metropolitan areas of the state (b) that it is in the public interest

to prevent the forced conversion of farm land, forest land and open space land to more intensive

uses as the result of economic pressures caused by the assessment thereof for the purposes of

property taxation at values incompatible with their preservation as such farm land, forest land

and open space land, and (c) that the necessity in the public interest of the enactment of the

provisions of Sections 7-131c and 12-107b to 12-107e, inclusive, is a matter of legislative

determination.

The upland portions of the replacement bridge will be constructed in the Amtrak right-of-way

and no farmland or open space would be used. The proposed project is consistent with this

policy.

98 CGS Section 22-26aa

The general assembly finds that the growing population and expanding economy of the state

have had a profound impact on the ability of public and private sectors of the state to maintain

and preserve agricultural land for farming and food production purposes, that unless there is a

sound, state-wide program for its preservation, remaining agricultural land will be lost to

succeeding generations and that the conservation of certain arable agricultural land and

adjacent pastures, woods, natural drainage areas and open space is vital for the well-being of

the people of Connecticut.

The upland portions of the replacement bridge will be constructed in the Amtrak right-of-way

and no farmland or open space would be used. The proposed project is consistent with this

policy.

99 CGS Section 23-5a as referenced by CGS Section 22a-92(a)(2)

Connecticut is a state of relatively small area, undergoing rapid industrialization and rapid

diminution of areas remaining in their natural condition. It is, therefore, declared to be the

public policy that carefully selected areas of land and water of outstanding scientific and
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-28

educational interest be preserved. In implementation of this policy, there is established a

Connecticut system of natural area preserve.

The upland portions of the replacement bridge will be constructed in the Amtrak right-of-way

and no land of outstanding scientific and educational interest would be used. The proposed

project is consistent with this policy.

PORTS & HARBORS

100 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(C)

To promote, through existing state and local planning, development, promotional and regulatory

authorities, the development, reuse or redevelopment of existing urban and commercial fishing

ports giving highest priority and preference to water-dependent uses, including but not limited

to commercial and recreational fishing and boating uses.

The proposed project is not expected to impact the existing commercial and recreational fishing

and boating facilities on the Connecticut River in the project area. As stated above, the project

will include improvements to river navigation that would benefit commercial and recreational

users of the river. The proposed project is consistent with this policy.

101 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(C)

To disallow uses which unreasonably congest navigation channels, or unreasonably preclude

boating support facilities elsewhere in a port or harbor.

Please see response to 100 above.

SEWER & WATER LINES

102 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(B)

To locate and phase sewer and water lines, so as to encourage concentrated development in

areas which are suitable for development.

No new sewer or water lines would be constructed as part of the proposed project. This policy

does not apply to the proposed project.

103 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(B)

To disapprove extension of sewer and water services into developed and undeveloped beaches,

barrier beaches and tidal wetlands except that, when necessary to abate existing sources of

pollution, sewers that will accommodate existing uses with limited excess capacity may be used.

No new sewer or water lines would be constructed as part of the proposed project. This policy

does not apply to the proposed project.

SOLID WASTE

104 CGS Section 22a-220

Each municipal authority shall make provisions for the safe and sanitary disposal of all solid

wastes which are generated within its boundaries, including septic tank pumping, sludge from

water pollution abatement facilities and water supply treatment plants, solid residues and sludge
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-29 May 2014

from air pollution control facilities and solid wastes from commercial, industrial, agricultural

and mining operations, but excluding wastes which are toxic or hazardous.

No solid waste will be produced as a result of day-to-day operation of the replacement bridge.

This policy does not apply to the proposed project.

105 CGS Section 19-524b

The commissioner shall administer and enforce the pluming and implementation requirements of

this chapter. He shall examine all existing or proposed solid waste facilities, provide for their

planning, design, construction and operation in a manner which conserves, improves and

protects the natural resources and environment of the state and shall order their alteration,

extension and replacement when necessary to conserve, improve and protect the state's natural

resources and environment and to control air, water and land pollution so that the health, safety

and welfare of the people of the state may be safeguarded and enhanced.

This policy contains a directive for the commissioner of environmental protection and does not

directly address the proposed project.

TRANSPORTATION

106 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(F)

To make use of rehabilitation, upgrading and improvement of existing transportation facilities

as the primary means of meeting transportation needs in the coastal area.

The purpose of the Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project is to improve the aging

bridge, enhance its reliability and long-term serviceability, and ensure continued passenger and

freight rail operations along the Northeast Corridor as well as navigation along the Connecticut

River. The bridge is used by Amtrak and Shore Line East (in addition to freight service) and

helps to meet the transportation needs in the coastal area. The project is therefore consistent with

this policy.

107 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(F)

To require that new or improved shoreline rail corridors be designed and constructed so as (i)

to prevent tidal and circulation restrictions and, when practicable, to eliminate any such existing

restrictions, (ii) to improve or have a negligible adverse effect on coastal access and recreation

and (iii) to enhance or not unreasonably impair the visual quality of the shoreline.

No culverts, tide gates, drainage, or flood control structures will be constructed as part of the

proposed project to prevent tidal or circulation restrictions. As stated above, the project will

improve navigation in the area and will not adversely affect the visual conditions. The project is

therefore consistent with this policy.

108 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(G)

To require that coastal highways and highway improvements, including bridges, be designed

and constructed so as to minimize adverse impacts on coastal resource.

No highway improvements will be undertaken as part of the proposed project. This policy does

not apply to the proposed project.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-30

109 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(G)

To require that coastal highway and highway improvements give full consideration to mass

transportation alternatives.

No highway improvements will be undertaken as part of the proposed project. This policy does

not apply to the proposed project.

110 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(G)

To require that coastal highways and highway improvements where possible enhance, but in no

case decrease coastal access and recreational opportunities.

No highway improvements will be undertaken as part of the proposed project. This policy does

not apply to the proposed project.

111 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(H)

To disallow the construction of major new airports.

No airports would be constructed as part of the proposed project. This policy does not apply to

the proposed project.

112 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(H)

To discourage the substantial expansion of existing airports within the coastal boundary.

No airports would be constructed as part of the proposed project. This policy does not apply to

the proposed project.

113 CGS Section 22a-92(c)(1)(H)

To require that any expansion or improvement of existing airports minimize adverse impacts on

coastal resources, recreation or access.

No airport expansion projects would be undertaken as part of the proposed project. This policy

does not apply to the proposed project.

WATER DEPENDENT USES

114 CGS Section 22a-92(a)(3)

To give high priority and preference to uses and facilities which are dependent upon proximity

to the water or the shorelands immediately adjacent to marine and tidal waters.

The project, which comprises a rail bridge river crossing, is inherently a water-dependent use.

The project is therefore consistent with this policy.

115 CGS Section 22a-92(b)(1)(A)

To manage uses in the coastal boundary through existing municipal planning, zoning and other

local regulatory authorities and through existing state structures, dredging, wetlands, and other

state siting and regulatory authorities, giving highest priority and preference to waterdependent uses and facilities in shorefront areas.

The project, which comprises a rail bridge river crossing, is inherently a water-dependent use.

The project is therefore consistent with this policy.
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-31 May 2014

CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTIONS OF RESOURCES CGS SECTION 22A-93(15)(H)

Degrading tidal wetlands, beaches and dunes, rocky shorefronts, and bluffs and escarpments

through significant alteration of their natural characteristics or function.

According to definitions found in the Connecticut General Statutes no beaches, dunes, rocky

shorefronts, bluffs, or escarpments are found on or around the project site. However, the project

is expected to affect tidal wetlands which are found on both sides of the project site. In order to

accommodate the embankment extensions necessary for the proposed bridge replacement

alternatives, some fill in tidal wetlands and/or coastal floodplains will likely be required. The

project alternatives would require filling tidal wetlands within Amtrak’s right-of-way.

Due to the nature and location of the river crossing and the need for continuous operations along

the Northeast Corridor, complete avoidance of wetland and open water areas would not be

feasible for any of the build alternatives. Consistent with Executive Order 11990, it has been

determined that there is no prudent and feasible alternative to avoid construction in wetlands and

therefore measures to minimize harm have been considered. Efforts to minimize wetland

impacts were incorporated into the conceptual design for the proposed build alternatives.

Sedimentation control measures, such as silt fences, hay bales, sedimentation basins, slope

stabilization measures, and sediment booms, will further reduce impacts. Appropriate mitigation

measures (e.g., restoration, purchasing of wetland banking credits) will be developed through

coordination with CTDEP, USACE, USCG, and any other relevant regulatory bodies during the

permit process. The project is consistent with this policy.

COASTAL FLOODING CGS SECTION 22A-3(15)(E)

Increasing the hazard of coastal flooding through significant alteration of shoreline

configurations or bathymetry, particularly within high velocity flood zones.

The project is not expected to adversely affect floodplains. In-water piers and other support

structures do not constrict tidal or freshwater flows, and are expected to be virtually identical to

the existing structures with respect to flood water throughput. Small areas of fill in tidal

floodplains associated with embankment widening and pier installation will encroach into the

floodplain. However, because the Connecticut River and adjacent coastal floodplains are entirely

tidal in the project area, this fill does not impact the capacity of the river to absorb flood waters.

The project is consistent with this policy.

COASTAL WATERS CIRCULATION PATTERNS CGS SECTION 22A-93(15)(B)

Degrading existing circulation patterns of coastal waters through the significant patterns of

tidal exchange or flushing rates, freshwater input, or existing basin characteristics and channel

contours.

No adverse impacts on circulation patterns are expected from the proposed project. The project

is consistent with this policy.

DRAINAGE PATTERNS CGS SECTION 22A-93(15)(D)

Degrading natural or existing drainage patterns through the significant alteration of

groundwater flow and recharge and volume of runoff.

No adverse impacts on drainage patterns are expected from the proposed project. The project is

consistent with this policy.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.2-32

PATTERNS OF SHORELINE EROSION AND ACCRETION CGS SECTION 22A-93(15)(C)

Degrading natural erosion patterns through the significant alteration of littoral transport of

sediments in terms of deposition or source reduction.

Retaining walls are included as part of the conceptual to minimize erosion, sedimentation, and

wetland impacts. However, no significant adverse impacts are expected on shoreline erosion

from the proposed project. The project is consistent with this policy.

VISUAL QUALITY CGS SECTION 22A-93(15)(F)

Degrading visual quality through significant alteration of the natural features of vistas and

viewpoints.

The project will result in the removal of the Connecticut River Bridge, which contributes to the

character of the Connecticut River View Corridor. In replacing the historic bridge with a new

bridge, this aspect of the corridor will be altered. The bridge replacement will have dimensions

and height similar to the existing bridge. The proposed project will not result in significant

adverse impacts to the Connecticut River View Corridor. The project is consistent with this

policy.

WATER DEPENDENCY CGS SECTION 22A-93(17)

"Adverse impacts on future water-dependent development opportunities" and "adverse impacts

on future water-dependent development activities" include but are not limited to (A) locating a

non-water-dependent use at a site that (i) is physically suited for a water-dependent use for

which there is a reasonable demand or (ii) has been identified for a water-dependent use in the

plan of development of the municipality or the zoning regulations; (B) replacement of a water

dependent use with a non-water-dependent use; and (C) siting of a non-water-dependent use

which would substantially reduce or inhibit existing public access to marine or tidal waters.

The project, which includes a rail bridge crossing over the Connecticut River, is inherently a

water-dependent use. No adverse impacts to other water-dependent uses are expected from the

proposed project. The project is consistent with this policy.

WATER QUALITY CGS SECTION 22A-93(15)(A)

Degrading water quality through the significant introduction into either coastal waters or

groundwater supplies of suspended solids, nutrients, toxics, heavy metals or pathogens, or

through the significant alteration of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen or salinity.

While mitigation measures such as silt curtains would be employed during in-water construction

work, it is possible that some sediment may escape such controls. However, any sediment resuspension associated with pile driving or other construction activities would be temporary and

localized to the project site. No significant adverse impacts to water quality are expected from

the proposed project. The project is consistent with this policy.

WILDLIFE, FINFISH, SHELLFISH HABITAT CGS SECTION 22A-93 (15)(G)

Degrading or destroying essential wildlife, finfish or shellfish habitat through significant

alteration of the composition, migration patterns, distribution, breeding or other population

characteristics of the natural species or significant alteration of the natural components of the

habitat.
Appendix C-2: Coastal Zone Management

C.2-33 May 2014

As with the existing Connecticut River Bridge, the structures of the replacement bridge are not

expected to impact fish migration or habitats. In-water construction activities will be limited to

periods outside of anadromous fish spawning periods identified by regulatory authorities. The

presence of any shellfish species may be ephemeral in the project area given widely and rapidly

fluctuating salinity concentrations. No significant adverse impacts to wildlife, fish, and shellfish

habitat are expected from the proposed project. The project is consistent with this policy.

POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACTS ON WATER-DEPENDENT USES AND OPPORTUNITIES

CGS SECTION 22A-93(17)

Locating a non-water dependent use at a site physically suited for, or planned for location of, a

water-dependent use

No impacts to water dependent uses are expected from the proposed project. The project is

consistent with this policy.

Replacing an existing water-dependent use with a not-water-dependent use

No impacts to water dependent uses are expected from the proposed project. The project is

consistent with this policy.

Siting a non-water-dependent use which would substantially reduce or inhibit existing public

access to marine or tidal waters.

The project, which includes a rail bridge crossing over the Connecticut River, is inherently a

water-dependent use. No impacts to water dependent uses are expected from the proposed

project. The project is consistent with this policy.

AQUATIC RESOURCES
C.3-1 May 2014

Appendix C-3: Aquatic Resources

A. INTRODUCTION

This Aquatic Resources Appendix provides supplemental background and data on the Aquatic

Resources Existing Conditions section of the Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

Environmental Assessment (EA).

B. SURFACE WATER RESOURCES IN THE PROJECT AREA

As mentioned in Chapter 1, “Purpose and Need,” the Connecticut River flows south 407 miles,

from the Connecticut Lakes in northern New Hampshire, through Vermont, western

Massachusetts, and central Connecticut into Long Island Sound. The river’s drainage basin

extends over 11,250 square miles (29,100 km2). The mean freshwater discharge into Long Island

Sound is nearly 16,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), or 453 m3/s, providing about 70 percent of all

freshwater input into the Sound. The flow of the river can range as high as 282,000 cfs (7985

m

3

/s) and as low as 971 cfs (27 m3/s). The river is tidally influenced up to Windsor Locks, near

Hartford, approximately 60 miles (97 km) from the mouth. In addition to the Lieutenant River,

significant tributaries of the Connecticut River include the Ashuelot, West, Miller's, Mill,

Deerfield, White, and Chicopee Rivers (USFWS 1997).

The lower valley of the Connecticut River is tightly constrained by hills of bedrock, therefore,

because of its small cross-sectional area, the river supports little tidal volume flux. Its ratio of

tidal inflow volume to freshwater flow volume during flood tide is about 0.5 for average

conditions, compared to ratios of 10 and 140 for the Hudson and Delaware rivers, respectively.

Figure 10-4 of the EA, illustrates the typical limited excursion of saltwater from flood tide.

Lower density fresh water from upriver floats above saltier water from Long Island Sound. This

results in a classic “salt wedge,” where salinity values vary dramatically from surface to bottom

at locations within the wedge. The formation of a salt wedge is ecologically significant, because

organisms living within these areas of salinity variability have evolved physiological measures

to tolerate these changes. As discussed below in “Aquatic Biota,” this variability can lead to the

presence of freshwater and saltwater species in the same area at the same time.

The Connecticut River transports a large amount of silt, especially during spring snow melt. As

with many large rivers, the often heavy silt load results in the formation of a large and shifting

sandbar near the mouth. Historically, this sandbar provided an obstacle to navigation, which is

the primary reason that no large cities are located near the mouth of the river.

Several significant tributary watercourses are present near the project area. A network of tidal

creeks and ditches known as Ragged Rock Creek flows through a large marsh on the southwest

of the project area. At the southeastern end of the project site, the Lieutenant River represents a

substantial input with a 12.1 mi2(3133 ha) watershed. This tributary flows under the eastern

bridge approach and discharges into the main River approximately 500 ft (150 m) south of the

existing bridge.

WATER QUALITY

The Connecticut River and Lieutenant River within the vicinity of the study area is classified by

Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP)1as a SB

waterbody. Class SB waters are designated for habitat for marine fish, other aquatic life and

wildlife, commercial shellfish harvesting, recreation, industrial water supply, and navigation.

From colonial times through the late 1960s, untreated or minimally treated waste discharges into

the Connecticut River from urban and industrial areas have resulted in significant and

widespread water quality impairments. However, since the 1960s, Connecticut water quality

data for the period 1968 to 1998, collected and analyzed by the USGS and CTDEEP, shows that

water quality has generally improved during this period. Much improvement can be attributed to

regional advances in wastewater treatment programs following the promulgation of the federal

Clean Water Act. Downward trends have been observed in total phosphorus, total nitrogen,

indicator bacteria species, while upward trends in pH and dissolved oxygen were recorded. In

addition, downward trends in sulfate concentrations have been attributed to reductions in sulfur

dioxide emissions resulting from measured undertaken by order of the Clean Air Act of 1970

and subsequent amendments. Increasing chloride trends apparent in this analysis may be the

effects of increasing urbanization and nonpoint-source pollution (Mullaney 2004).

USEPA has published its Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) data for

sampling stations within the Connecticut River in the vicinity of the proposed project.2 Although

these data do not represent a long-term continuous series of measurements, certain parameters

may be seen as a “snap-shot” of prevailing conditions, and values indicating severe impairment

should be conspicuous. With respect to water quality, the EMAP sampling near the Connecticut

River Bridge in September 2001 indicated a salinity concentration of approximately 30.7 ppt, a

dissolved oxygen concentration of 6.9 mg/L (at 20.2 °C), chlorophyll a concentrations of around

2.5 μg/L, and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations of 6 mg/L. The results were nearly

identical for near-surface and near-bottom measurements, likely because the sample was

collected from a depth of only 7.2 ft (2.2 meters) following a relatively dry season. Vertical

stratification due to the salt wedge would be more apparent in the main channel during or after a

rainfall event or during ebb tide. The relative clarity, high salinity, and low chlorophyll-a

concentrations are indicative of the site’s proximity to nearly oceanic waters of eastern Long

Island Sound.

SEDIMENT QUALITY

The Connecticut River carries a heavy amount of silt, especially during spring snow melt, from

as far away as Canada. As a fluvial source of sediments to Long Island Sound, the Connecticut

River contributes approximately 42,000 tons (3.5 x 108kg) of suspended solids per year (Gordon

1980, cited in Knebel et al. 1999).

2 EMAP is a research program designed to foster the scientific understanding needed to translate

environmental monitoring data from multiple spatial and temporal scales into assessments of current

ecological condition and forecasts of future risks to natural resources. The most recent available EMAP

data for the project area was queried from the EMAP web interface

(http://oaspub.epa.gov/emap/webdev_emap.search). Data obtained included water quality data (2001),

sediment contaminant data (2000), and benthic invertebrate data (1991)
Appendix C-3: Aquatic Resources

C.3-3 May 2014

In general, sediments near the project area are coarse-grained sand overlain with a silt/sand

surficial layer. Silt/sand is more predominant in the shallows on the nearshore portions of the

river, while courser sediments mixed with shell hash appear to be more predominant in the

deeper channel areas (Hardesty and Hanover, LLP 2007). This grain-size distribution is

consistent with that of other southern New England rivers and is similar to grain sizes reported

from EMAP stations in Long Island Sound near the mouth of the Connecticut River.

Sediment contaminant data is available from USEPA EMAP from a 2000 sampling. The

sediments indicated the presence of metals, including iron (13,200 μg/g), aluminum (5,560

μg/g), manganese (511 μg/g), zinc (49.5 μg/g), chromium (23.6 μg/g), lead (19.5 μg), copper

(7.8 μg/g), nickel (6.36 μg/g), and arsenic (3.78 μg/g). Tin, silver, cadmium, and mercury were

also present in concentrations of less than 1 μg/g. The presence of some these metals in the

Connecticut River sediments near the project site may not imply anthropogenic sources. Some of

these elements (e.g., aluminum and iron) are common in rocks and soils within the watershed.

Silver, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, lead, and zinc, however, are considered

anthropogenic metals. The concentrations of poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), PCBs, DDT

congeners, and pesticides in the sediments near the project area were all below analytical

detection limits in the EMAP sampling.

Currently, Connecticut Department of Public Health (CTDPH) advises against the consumption

of bluefish or striped bass from waters of Long Island Sound and tributary rivers for high risk

individuals, and recommends limited consumption for these species for lower risk consumers.

The contaminants of concern associated with this restriction are PCBs, and although these

contaminants do not originate in the Connecticut River, they are common regionally, as

described above.

C. AQUATIC BIOTA

Aquatic habitats within the project area include deep channel areas, shallow near-shore flats,

intertidal mudflats, and tidal wetlands.

PHYTOPLANKTON

The species composition of phytoplankton near the project area is highly variable due to the

site’s location within the Connecticut River’s constrained zone of estuarine mixing. The salt

wedge phenomenon discussed above induces fluctuating conditions in which both freshwater,

estuarine, and marine phytoplankton species may be present. Within Long Island Sound, harmful

phytoplankton blooms known as “red tides” are common, and are often the result of

anthropogenic nutrient loading and warm water temperatures during summer months. The red

tides often result in hypoxic conditions as decaying phytoplankton consume dissolved oxygen,

which in turn can cause fish kills or other marine organism die-offs.

CTDEP has published the results of photopigment-based plankton monitoring conducted

between April 2002 and June 2004 (CTDEEP 2005). In these samples, diatoms represented over

51 percent of phytoplankton present. Fourteen percent of the sample were members of the class

cryptophyceae (historically classified as diatoms, but more recently assigned a separate

taxonomic class), and nine percent were dinoflagellates. Other taxa present included members of

Euglenaphyceae, Prymnesiophyceae, and Cyanobacters (so-called “blue green algae”). The

CTDEP fact sheet for the monitoring program provides example illustrations of several species
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.3-4

common in collections, including Eucampia zoodiacus, Thalassionema nitzschoides,

Skeletonema costatum, and Dinophysis spp.

Submerged Aquatic Vegetation and Benthic Marine Algae

Although submerged aquatic vegetation tends to occur in eastern Long Island Sound (mostly as

eelgrass [Zostera marina]), the fluctuating salt wedge present in the project area precludes the

establishment of eelgrass in the Connecticut River. Eelgrass is tolerant of saline conditions, and

will not grow where salinity concentrations vary wildly over short periods of time. Recent

eelgrass mapping efforts conducted by the USFWS along Connecticut’s shoreline confirm that

eelgrass beds are not found the Connecticut River (USFWS 2006).

Submerged aquatic vegetation exists in the nearby brackish tidal creeks with average salinity

concentrations between 5 an 18 ppt. Dominant species include widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima)

at higher salinities and horned pondweed (Zannichellia palustris) at lower concentrations.

ZOOPLANKTON

Zooplankton are an integral component of aquatic food webs. Zooplankton typically feed on

phytoplankton and detrital material, and are themselves consumed by organisms at higher

trophic levels. The higher-level consumers of zooplankton generally include forage fish, such as

bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli), as well as commercially and recreationally important species,

such as striped bass (Morone saxatilis). On the other hand, predacious zooplankton species can

consume fish eggs and larvae, and can have a detrimental effect on certain fish species.

Zooplankton taxa common in Long Island Sound include ctenophores, copepod crustaceans

(especially Acartia tonsa and Eurytemora spp.) and the early life stages of fish, crabs, barnacles,

shrimp, worms, mollusks, and echinoderms (sea stars and urchins). Zooplankton abundance in

Long Island Sound peaks in spring and summer when organism density can reach over 200,000

individuals per cubic meter.

BENTHIC INVERTEBRATES

Invertebrate organisms that inhabit river bottom sediments and the surfaces of submerged

objects (such as rocks, pilings, or debris) are commonly referred to as benthic invertebrates.

Benthic invertebrates include those specimens that can be retained on a 0.5 mm screen (defined

as macroinvertebrates) as well as smaller forms, such as nematodes (a class of roundworm) and

harpacticoid copepods (order of copepods that are primarily benthic), collectively called

meiofauna. Some of these animals live on top of the substratum (epifauna) and some within the

substratum (infauna). Substrate type (rocks, pilings, sediment grain size, etc.), salinity, and

dissolved oxygen (DO) levels are important factors influencing benthic invertebrate

communities. Other factors include currents, reproductive success, larval distribution, wave

action, predation, succession, and benthic disturbance. These organisms are important to an

ecosystem’s energy flow because they promote the exchange of nutrients between the sediment

and water column and convert detrital and suspended organic material into living tissue. These

organisms are also integral components of the diets of ecologically and commercially important

fish and waterfowl species.

A number of commercially and recreationally important shellfish are found in the lower

Connecticut River Estuary. These include infaunal species such as the soft clam (Mya arenaria)

and hard clam (Mercenaria mercenaria). In addition, epifaunal species such as eastern oysters

(Crassostrea virginica), bay scallops (Argopecten irradians), blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), and
Appendix C-3: Aquatic Resources

C.3-5 May 2014

blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) may be present in the lower mixing zone of the estuary. The

presence of these species may be ephemeral in the project area given widely and rapidly

fluctuating salinity concentrations.

Beyond species of obvious commercial and recreational importance, macroinvertebrates

common to the area include gastropod mollusks (e.g., Busycon spp. whelks), bivalve mollusks

(e.g., the razor clam Ensis directus), polychaete worms (Phylum Annelida, Class Polycheata),

amphipods, copepods, isopods, mud crabs, and barnacles (Phylum Arthropoda, Class Crustacea),

and tunicates (Phylum Chordata, Class Ascidiacea).

USEPA EMAP sampled macroinvertebrates in the Connecticut River near the project area

during 1990 and 1991 sampling efforts.1 These benthic grab samples penetrated the substrate and

any invertebrates collected were classified to the lowest practical taxonomic level (usually to

species). The results for these sampling efforts are summarized in Table C-1, which presents the

mean number of organisms per sample by station. The assortment of species present in these

samples is predominated by euryhaline species (i.e., those that are able to tolerate a wide variety

of salinity concentrations, such as Gammarus amphipods and Edotea triloba). Other species are

more salt-tolerant (polyhaline), whereas others tend to fresher waters (oligohaline).

This mix of infaunal species near the proposed project is indicative of a highly dynamic

waterbody with daily fluctuating salinity regime (salt wedge) driven by normal tidal exchange

interacting with the geology of the Connecticut River. Benthic organisms permanently

inhabiting the area of the existing bridge are tolerant of alternating exposure to salt and fresh

water. In addition to daily fluctuations, the zone of mixing moves up or downriver in response to

seasonal, annual, or longer-term changes in freshwater discharge, moving upriver during dry

periods and extending well into Long Island Sound during rainy periods.

FISH

Several factors have contributed to the Connecticut River’s importance as fish habitat. First, as

discussed above, historic sandbar formation precluded the development of an urban center near

the River’s mouth. Therefore the lower part of the river has not experienced many of the impacts

associated with urbanization such as large nutrient loads from urban CSOs, which can lead to

toxic algae blooms and dissolved oxygen barriers that effectively prevent upstream and

downstream movement of fish at critical times of the year. Secondly, the wetland complexes

present near the mouth of the Connecticut River remain relatively undisturbed. These tidal

marshes serve as vital nurseries to many species of juvenile fish, by providing forage, shelter

from predators, and warmer temperatures that promote the development of early life stages of

fish. Lastly, the Connecticut River’s large drainage area (11,250 square miles (29,100 km2) and

associated tributaries provide extensive spawning areas for anadromous species (e.g., herring,

shad, and salmon). Despite the installation of a number of upstream dams, the river still provides

many miles of suitable fish habitat for important estuarine species.

1 Data are available from three sampling stations: Station VA90-093 located approximately 5 miles

upstream of the project area, (sampled in August of 1990), Station VA91-395 located approximately 3

miles downriver from the project site (sampled in August 1991), and Station VA91-403 located about 1

mile upriver from the project site (sampled in August of 1991).

The following analysis briefly describes the habitats and life histories for a number of marine,

estuarine, anadromous, catadromous, and freshwater fishes that are common in the project area.

As detailed above, due to the project’s location within the Connecticut River’s short (i.e.,

approximately 5 miles) zone of tidal mixing, the species composition at the project location is

driven largely by season and salinity. This list of species is not exhaustive since the constrained

MARINE SPECIES

Marine species present in the Connecticut River include winter flounder, windowpane flounder,

scup, red hake, and bluefish. Winter flounder is an important commercial and recreational fish

species that prefers cold water. Adults have a short migration pattern, moving offshore a short

distance in spring and returning to shallow inshore or estuarine waters in late fall (Bigelow and

Schroeder 1953). Winter flounder spawn in the lower estuary during winter and early spring and

prefer sandy bottoms in shallow water where freshwater from the estuary dilutes salinities to

slightly below full ocean concentration (Pereira et al. 1999). The presence of adult-size winter

flounder during the winter months in the lower Connecticut River may indicate possible

spawning activity; however winter flounder are most likely utilizing the area as a residence
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.3-8

during the winter months. Winter flounder have a varied diet of small invertebrates and fish fry

(Grimes et al. 1989).

Windowpane, or sand flounder, is a thin-bodied, left-eyed flatfish species distributed in the

Northwest Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Florida (Bigelow and Schroeder

1993). Windowpanes prefer areas of sandy bottom and are most abundant from Georges Bank to

the Chesapeake Bay. Windowpanes occur in bays and estuaries at depths from the shoreline to

197 feet (60 m). On Georges Bank, the species is most abundant on the shoals (depths less than

200 feet) during late spring through autumn but overwintering occurs in deeper waters out to

1200 feet (366 m) (Chang et al. 1999).

Scup, or porgy, is a marine species that migrates inshore during late spring. It tends to remain

close to the coast during the summer months before moving offshore during the fall to deeper

waters. Scup are bottom feeders that spawn from May through August (Bigelow and Schroeder

1953).

Red hake is a bottom-dwelling fish that lives on sand and mud bottoms along the continental

shelf from southern Nova Scotia to North Carolina (concentrated from the southwestern part of

the Georges Banks to New Jersey). Spawning adults and eggs are common in marine portions of

most coastal bays between Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Spawning occurs from May to June

in the New York Bight and in Long Island Sound (Steimle et al. 1999a).

Bluefish is a pelagic species whose young migrate into estuaries and harbors along the coast

during late spring or early summer. The major spawning grounds of the bluefish are located on

the outer continental shelf and the resulting young move inshore in the late summer to forage

(Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). The incidence of young bluefish in the Connecticut River is

related to this migration pattern.

ESTUARINE SPECIES

Estuarine species common to the Connecticut River include the resident fish bay anchovy,

Atlantic silverside, striped and common killifish/mummichog (Fundulus majalis and Fundulus

heteroclitus, respectively), American sand lance (Ammodytes americanus) and summer flounder.

Some of these species are important as forage species for larger predator fish and are commonly

used as bait by fishermen. Summer flounder is a popular estuarine game fish.

Bay anchovy are found in salinities ranging from fresh to seawater. This common species may

be the most abundant species in the northwest Atlantic (McHugh 1967 in Vougilitois et al.

1987). Bay anchovy use the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound for spawning, embryonic

development, and hatching. Spawning occurs from about May through September and females

spawn many times per year (Houde and Zastrow 1991). The peak abundance of larvae bay

anchovy is in June and July. Juveniles occur from mid-August through October. Trawl data

indicate that north of Delaware Bay, bay anchovy move out of estuaries and southward during

the fall and are virtually absent from the inshore continental shelf of Connecticut during the

winter months (ASA 2001).

Atlantic silversides are small fish that school in shallow water and are permanent residents of the

estuary. They spawn in May through early July and mature in one year. Atlantic silversides are

omnivorous and feed chiefly on copepods, mysids, shrimp, amphipods, cladocerans, fish eggs,

young squid, annelid worms, and mollusk larvae (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953).
Appendix C-3: Aquatic Resources

C.3-9 May 2014

Common killifish spawn primarily in fresh or brackish water, usually from spring to late summer

or early autumn. Striped killifish spawn in shallow water close to shore from June through

August, and mature in their second year. Both species feed primarily on small crustaceans and

polychaetes (Abraham 1985).

American sand lance (also known as "sand eels", although they are unrelated to true eels), is a

small estuarine species often found burrowing into sand to avoid tidal currents. Both adult and

larval sea lances primarily feed on copepods. Larval forms of this fish are one of the most

abundant in areas such as the northwest Atlantic where they serve as a major food item for cod,

salmon, and other commercially important species.

Summer flounder prefer the estuarine and shelf waters of the Atlantic Ocean and are found

between Nova Scotia and southeastern Florida. They are most abundant from Cape Cod,

Massachusetts, to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Summer flounder usually reach their peak

abundance in July and August. Spawning takes place in nearshore waters outside estuarine

systems in September to October. Spawning occurs in surface water temperatures of 45-57F (7-

14C), with peak activity occurring around 50-54F (10-12C) (Packer et al. 1999).

ANADROMOUS SPECIES

Anadromous species spend their adult life in the sea but swim to freshwater spawning grounds in

order to reproduce. Anadromous species that are known to use the Connecticut River as a

migration route include Atlantic salmon, striped bass, tomcod, and members of the herring

family.

The Atlantic salmon is an anadromous species that once ranged from the rivers of Ungava Bay,

Canada to tributaries of Long Island Sound. As a consequence of industrial and agricultural

development (especially hydroelectric dams) and historic overfishing, most native New England

Atlantic salmon have been driven regionally extinct. Remnant native populations of Atlantic

salmon in the United States now thought to exist only in Maine. The decline of Atlantic salmon

population in the U.S. has prompted the listing of Atlantic salmon as endangered under the

Endangered Species Act (65 Fed. Reg. 69459) in 2000.

Striped bass use the Connecticut River and other waterways in Long Island Sound for migration

from fall through spring. Mature striped bass return from marine waters to fresh water to spawn

before migrating back to salt water. The young then use the brackish waters as nursery and

wintering area. Juvenile striped bass migrate to marine waters when nearing maturity and return

to spawn in the spring each year (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). Juvenile striped bass eat a

variety of invertebrates, and adults eat a variety of fish and may also eat shrimp. They feed

primarily on invertebrates; as they grow, striped bass feed primarily on fish.

Tomcod is an inshore species of cod that is distributed from Canada to Virginia along the

Atlantic Coast. In Connecticut waters, the adult tomcod move out from shore to cooler waters in

the spring. These fish feed mainly on small crustaceans (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953).

Another three of the common anadromous species found in the Connecticut River are members

of the herring family—alewife, blueback herring, and American shad. These species live in the

ocean as adults and move into estuaries in spring on their spawning migrations. All three spawn

in freshwater. Juveniles migrate from the estuaries in their first year primarily in the fall. These

species primarily eat small planktonic crustaceans and other invertebrates (Bigelow and

Schroeder 1953).
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project

May 2014 C.3-10

CATADROMOUS SPECIES

Catadromous species live primarily in freshwater and enter saltwater environments to spawn.

The single catadromous species common to the Connecticut River is American eel. Eels spawn

in the Atlantic Ocean and the young move into the estuary in the spring (Fahay 1978, Moriarty

1978). American eels are opportunistic feeders and juveniles eat crustaceans, polychaetes,

bivalves and fish.

FRESHWATER SPECIES

Because of the complex tidal dynamic and typically short zone of freshwater/saltwater mixing, a

number of common freshwater fish species can also occur in the lower Connecticut River near

the project area under certain high flow, low salinity conditions. These species may include

Northern pike (Esox lucious), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), smallmouth bass

(Micropterus dolomieu), channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), white perch (Morone americana),

and yellow perch (Perca flavescens), among others.1

The northern pike is a species of carnivorous fish that is typical of brackish and freshwaters of

the northern hemisphere. Pike are found in slow-moving streams and shallow, weedy habitats in

lakes, and also in cold, clear waters over rocky bottoms. Pike are ambush predators that lie in

wait for prey, holding still for long periods and rapidly accelerating to strike. Pike primarily eat

fish, but have been known to attack aquatic rodents and even ducklings. Pike grow to a relatively

large size; lengths of up to 59 inches (150 cm) and weights of 55 pounds (25 kg) have been

reported.

Large and smallmouth bass are popular and widespread freshwater gamefish originally native to

the Mississippi River basin. Since colonial times, these species have been introduced into waters

outside their native range and have become ubiquitous “naturalized” species in most Eastern

states. Both species are in the sunfish family (Centrarchidae). Largemouth bass can reach

maximum recorded overall length of 38 inches (0.96 m), and a maximum recorded weight of 25

pounds (11.3 kg) and are common in tidal and non-tidal rivers, lakes, and ponds. Smallmouth

bass are generally slightly smaller than largemouth bass, and are more common in riverine

habitats.

Channel catfish are also originally native to the central United States and Canada, but are now

widely distributed throughout the United States and thrive in small rivers, large rivers,

reservoirs, natural lakes, and ponds. They are omnivores that will readily consume insects,

worms, and other fish. They are a popular sport fish, and can reach sizes of up to 36 inches (0.97

m) (Murdy et al. 1997).

Yellow perch are found throughout the United States and Canada. Yellow perch are common if

freshwater tidal and non-tidal rivers, lakes, and streams, and are a popular game fish. Yellow

perch size can vary greatly between bodies of water, but adults are usually between 4 to 10

inches (10 to 25.5 cm) in length (Murdy et al. 1997).

1 White perch are often considered anadromous, however most white perch do not often out-migrate as far

as the Atlantic Ocean. For this reason, they are more aptly termed “semi-anadromous”. Because they are

also easily capable of sustaining landlocked populations with no estuarine migration, they are included

as freshwater species here.
Appendix C-3: Aquatic Resources

C.3-11 May 2014

White perch is also common to the Connecticut River. Adult white perch migrate to shallow

fresh and slightly brackish water in the spring and early summer to spawn, after which they

return to the lower river. The juveniles inhabit creeks and inshore areas until they are about a

year old (Heimbuch et al. 1994). Small white perch primarily eat invertebrates. Larger white

perch in salt and brackish water eat small fish fry, crabs, shrimp, and other invertebrates. White

perch of 7 to 8 inches (200 mm) in length or more primarily prey upon fish.

Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

A. INTRODUCTION

Essential fish habitat (EFH) is defined under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation

Management Act (16 USC §§ 1801 to 1883), as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act

(SFA) of 1996, as “those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding,

or growth to maturity.” “Waters” include aquatic areas and their physical, chemical, and

biological properties that are used by fish. “Substrate” includes sediment, hard bottom,

structures, and associated biological communities that are under the water column. Waters and

substrates necessary for fish spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity—covering all

stages within the life cycle of a particular species—refers to those habitats required to support a

sustainable fishery and a particular species’ contribution to a healthy ecosystem (50 Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) 600.10).

Section 303(a)(7) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that the eight Regional Fishery

Management Councils (RFMC) describe and identify EFH for each federally managed species,

and minimize adverse impacts from fishing activities on EFH. Section 305(b)(2)-(4) of the

Magnuson-Stevens Act outlines the process for providing the National Marine Fisheries Service

(NMFS) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the RFMC

with the opportunity to comment on activities proposed by federal agencies that have the

potential to adversely impact EFH areas. Federal agencies are required to consult with NMFS

(using existing consultation processes for NEPA, the Endangered Species Act, or the Fish and

Wildlife Coordination Act) on any action that they authorize, fund, or undertake that may

adversely impact EFH.

Adverse effects to EFH, as defined in 50 CFR 600.910(A) include any impact that reduces the

quality and/or quantity of EFH. Adverse effects may include:

 Direct impacts such as physical disruption or the release of contaminants;

 Indirect impacts such as the loss of prey or reduction in the fecundity (number of offspring

produced) of a managed species; and

 Site-specific or habitat-wide impacts that may include individual, cumulative, or synergetic

consequences of a federal action.

An EFH assessment of a federal action that may adversely affect EFH must contain:

 A description of the proposed project;

 An analysis of the effects, including cumulative, on EFH, the managed species and

associated species such as major prey species, and the life history stages that may be

affected;
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-2

 The agency’s conclusions regarding the effects of the action on EFH; and

 Proposed mitigation, if applicable (50 CFR 600.920(g)).

The following sections describe:

 The project actions that have potential to affect aquatic resources near the Connecticut River

Bridge;

 Existing water and sediment quality within the Connecticut River in the project area;

 Potential impacts to aquatic biota and habitat that may result from the proposed project

activities;

 Species for which EFH has been identified near the proposed project and potential impacts

to their habitats; and

 Potential impacts to three non-EFH fish species: shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser

brevirostrum) – a federal and state-listed endangered species, Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser

oxyrinchus) – a federal-listed endangered and state-listed threatened species, blueback

herring (Alosa aestivalis) – a candidate species for federal listing, and five species of marine

turtles with the potential to occur in the vicinity of the project as seasonal transients.

B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

OVERVIEW

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is proposing improvements to the

Connecticut River Bridge (also known as “CONN” or the “Old Saybrook-Old Lyme Bridge”).

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is serving as the lead federal agency for this

Environmental Assessment (EA). The bridge is located between the Town of Old Saybrook in

Middlesex County and the Town of Old Lyme in New London County. The bridge is located

along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (MP 106.89) at approximately 41°18′39′′N, 72°20′57′′W and

spans the Connecticut River, 3.4 miles from its mouth at Long Island Sound (see Figure 1). The

Connecticut River Bridge is one of several moveable rail bridges along the Northeast Corridor.

The existing bridge is a two-track, ten-span steel rail bridge with an open deck and stone

masonry piers. The bridge is over 1,500 feet long and has two abutments and nine piers. Seven

of the ten spans are through-truss spans (roughly 185 feet in length each). Two of the spans are

deck-girder spans (one 38 feet in length and one 70 feet in length). One span is a 160-foot-long

moveable rolling lift bascule span. The lift span opens to allow boats and other marine vessels to

traverse the Connecticut River. The bridge is owned by Amtrak and used primarily for passenger

rail. Providence and Worcester Railroad (P&W) also uses the bridge for freight transport.

The Connecticut River Bridge was constructed between 1904 and 1907, and is nearing the end

of its serviceable life. Amtrak is initiating the Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project to

identify problems posed by the current rail crossing and propose necessary improvements.

Amtrak has considered a range of improvement alternatives, including minor repairs,

rehabilitation of the existing bridge, partial replacement, and complete replacement. Amtrak

evaluated 21 build alternatives and identified the Preferred Alternative. The Preferred

Alternative includes replacing the existing bridge with a new moveable two-track bridge along a

new alignment to the south of the existing alignment.
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-3 May 2014

Two feasible options have been identified for the Preferred Alternative (see Figure 2). One

option (Option A) would replace the existing bridge with a bascule bridge and would maintain

the existing 150-foot channel width. A bascule bridge is typically appropriate to span a

navigational channel with a maximum width of 150 feet. Option A would provide a vertical

clearance of 18 feet in the closed position. In the open position, it would likely provide a similar

vertical clearance as the existing bridge (i.e., 68 feet for full channel width and unlimited for

vessels requiring less than 71 feet in width).

The other option (Option B) would replace the existing bridge with a vertical lift bridge. This

option could potentially provide for a wider channel. The exact channel width for Option B

would be determined during preliminary engineering; however, it would provide a minimum of

150 feet and a maximum of 200 feet. Option B would provide a vertical clearance of 18 feet in

the closed position. When in the open position, the vertical clearance of the lift bridge would be

at least 90 feet. For purposes of the project’s EA and this EFH, both options are considered.

Regardless of the type of moveable bridge and channel width, the Preferred Alternative would

include ballast deck girders for the approach spans. It would require widening of the existing rail

embankment for the bridge approaches. Based on Amtrak’s previous experience with similar

bridge replacement projects, a combination of embankments and retaining walls are assumed to

be required for the bridge approaches. The use of retaining walls in certain locations would

minimize wetland impacts. The Preferred Alternative would include new navigation channel

fenders, regardless of whether the channel is expanded.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PLAN

The Preferred Alternative would include the decommissioning and removal of the existing

Connecticut River Bridge. The Preferred Alternative would involve the construction of

temporary access roads and staging platforms along the existing Amtrak right-of-way and the

shoreline to support in-water construction of embankments and retaining walls along the bridge

approaches, new superstructure and substructure, and channel fender system. Following

construction of the replacement bridge, the existing bridge would be decommissioned and

removed.

At the onset of construction, temporary access roads and staging platforms would be built.

Temporary access roads of approximately 30 feet in width would be used for the duration of

construction to allow access to sections of the replacement bridge (such as the embankment

extensions) that would be located over wetlands and/or open water. Temporary staging

platforms constructed of steel piles, steel framing and timber matting decks and varying in width

from 20 to 40 feet would be constructed in/over wetlands on each side of the project area for

both east and west approaches. While construction of the substructure is not anticipated to

employ driven piles, limited pile driving may be required for the construction of temporary

construction staging platforms. To decrease the need for additional platform width and its

associated impacts, temporary barges may be used. On the west side of the bridge, options are

limited due to the presence of wetlands. As a result, the contractor may have to construct

temporary platforms over adjacent wetlands on the west shore of the river to construct the new

approach embankment, retaining walls, and approach spans. The staging platforms would have

minimal underwater footprints and may remain in place for the duration of the proposed bridge

construction and existing bridge demolition.

The Preferred Alternative would require embankment extensions to the south of the existing

embankments. Embankments would likely be constructed using fill material with precast or
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-4

poured-in-place concrete retaining walls for the length of the extension. Existing embankments

would likely be extended by constructing portions of the retaining walls and compacting the fill

material in approximately one-foot vertical sections behind these walls. Precast concrete sheet

piling retaining walls can be manufactured offsite in four-foot widths at various lengths,

transported to the job site, and installed into the existing soil or marsh with a minimal amount of

ground disturbance.

The Preferred Alternative would not reuse any existing piers. It would require the construction

of nine new piers—seven approach piers comprising drilled shafts supporting a reinforced

concrete pier cap, and two moveable span piers comprising drilled shafts supporting a large

concrete cap. The piers of the existing Connecticut River Bridge are founded either on rock or

on timber piles installed into dense sand or gravel. This subsurface is anticipated to provide

adequate foundation for new piers.

All new piers would require in-water construction in the Connecticut River. The contractor

would construct the piers from barges placed in the river with an effort to minimize disruption to

marine navigation. Three barges may be required—one to support the shaft drilling equipment,

one to store materials, and one to hold any spoils or excavated material. It is assumed that 4.5-

foot diameter drilled shafts would be sufficient for most piers, except at the west approaches,

where 7-foot diameter drilled shafts may be required. Three drilled shafts would be required for

each approach pier. Once each set of shafts is constructed, the contractor would construct a

concrete pile cap on top. Construction of the piers in this fashion would eliminate the need for

cofferdams. In total, each new pier would take approximately two to three months to construct.

Multiple piers would be constructed simultaneously.

The existing Connecticut River Bridge would be removed after constructing the replacement

bridge and diverting all train traffic from the existing span. The existing moveable span would

likely be floated out on barges. Approach spans would be lifted off their piers with a crane and

placed on a barge for removal. After the removal of the superstructure, the contractor would

remove the substructure with a barge mounted crane after breaking up the piers into smaller and

more easily removed pieces using an expansion demolition agent without the need for

explosives. Depending upon U.S. Coast Guard requirements, the existing timber piles would be

removed from the pier foundations and fender system, either by removing them completely or by

cutting them off two feet below the mudline. Turbidity curtains during demolition would be used

to control any sediment that might be disturbed.

Due to the nature and location of the river crossing and the need for continuous operations along

the Northeast Corridor, complete avoidance of wetland and open water areas would not be

feasible for the Preferred Alternative. Based on the conceptual bridge design described above, it

is estimated that the Preferred Alternative would result in approximately 2.8 acres of permanent

wetland impacts and 0.74 acres of permanent open water impacts. Removal of the existing

Connecticut River Bridge may result in approximately 0.33 acres of restored open water, for a

net project impact of 0.41 acres. Based on the conceptual bridge design and the anticipated

construction means and methods, it is estimated that approximately 3.2 acres of wetlands and 2.0

acres of open water will be temporarily impacted during the construction period.
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-5 May 2014

To the extent practicable, the project team has conceptually designed the project to minimize

environmental impacts through the use of retaining walls and by locating the new bridge

alignment close to the existing alignment. These impact estimates (shown in Table 1) have been

based on conceptual engineering performed to date and will be refined during the preliminary

engineering and permitting phase.

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING AQUATIC HABITAT

SURFACE WATER RESOURCES IN THE PROJECT AREA

The Connecticut River is known for its exceptional biological and recreational resources. The

lower, estuarine portion of the river extends about 30 miles upstream of the river’s mouth on

Long Island Sound. This river reach is known as the Connecticut Gateway Conservation Zone.

The river serves as a major migratory route for diadromous fishes, linking the estuarine waters

of Long Island Sound and the marine environment of the Atlantic Ocean to the freshwaters of

inland rivers, streams, and lakes. The Connecticut River Valley also is a major bird migration

route between wintering grounds and summer nesting areas for many species of waterfowl,

shore and wading birds, rails, raptors, and neo-tropical migratory song birds. The estuary, its

wetlands, and surrounding buffer areas all provide critical habitats and nutrients for a wide array

of plant, invertebrate, fish, bird, and other wildlife species, including many listed as federal

and/or state endangered, threatened, or of special concern. The significance of the river as an

important habitat has been recognized nationally by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

(USFWS). In the 1990s the river was designated as one of 14 National Heritage Rivers and its

estuary is considered one of the “Last Great Places” by the Nature Conservancy (one of 40 in the

northern hemisphere). The estuary has also been identified as globally significant by the Ramsar

Convention on Wetlands of International Importance.

The Connecticut River is the largest river in New England, flowing south from the Connecticut

Lakes in northern New Hampshire, along the border between New Hampshire and Vermont,

through Western Massachusetts and central Connecticut, and into Long Island Sound. It has a

total main-stem length of 407 miles (655 km), and a drainage basin extending over 11,250

square miles (29,100 km2) (Connecticut River Watershed Council 2008). The mean freshwater

discharge into Long Island Sound is nearly 16,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The flow has

ranged as high as 282,000 cfs and as low as 971 cfs. The river is tidally influenced up to

Windsor Locks, approximately 60 miles (97 km) from the mouth. Significant tributaries include

the Ashuelot, West, Miller's, Mill, Deerfield, White, and Chicopee Rivers. Significantly, the

Swift River, itself a tributary of the Chicopee, has been largely drowned to create the Quabbin

Reservoir which provides potable water to Boston, Massachusetts.

The Connecticut River carries a large silt load, especially during spring snow melt, from as far

north as Canada. As with many large rivers, the often heavy silt load results in the formation of a

large and shifting sandbar near its mouth. In historic times, this sandbar provided a formidable

obstacle to navigation, which is the primary reason that the Connecticut River is one of the few

large rivers in the region without a major city near its mouth.

The shoreline of the Connecticut River in the project area primarily comprises tidal salt-marsh

vegetated with the native smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) and saltmeadow cordgrass

(Spartina patens) and the invasive, non-native common reed (Phragmites australis). Railroad

approaches to the existing bridge pass through several sensitive ecological and recreational

areas. On both sides of the river, portions of these areas are designated as Wildlife Management

Areas. In the Town of Old Saybrook, the marsh includes the Ragged Rock Creek Marsh Wildlife

Management Area (WMA). In Old Lyme, the marsh includes the Roger Tory Peterson Wildlife

Area, formerly called the Great Island Wildlife Area.1

Several significant tributary watercourses are present near the proposed project. A network of

tidal creeks and ditches run through the Ragged Rock Creek WMA. The largest creek passes

under the tracks near the end of the western approach and discharges into the Connecticut River

approximately 4,000 feet (1,220 m) south of the bridge. On the east side of the Connecticut

River, the Lieutenant River represents a substantial input with a 12.1 mi2 watershed. The

tributary flows under the eastern approach and discharges into the main river approximately 500

feet (150 m) south of the existing bridge. Another small stream also flows under the eastern

approach within the project area.

WATER QUALITY

From colonial times through the late 1960s, untreated or minimally treated waste discharges

from upstream urban areas (e.g. Hartford) and industrialization had resulted in significant and

widespread water quality issues in the Connecticut River. Trends in important water quality data

in Connecticut for the period 1968 to 1998, collected and analyzed by the U.S. Geological

Survey and the CTDEEP, shows that water quality generally has improved during this period.

Many of the trends detected are attributable to regional improvements in wastewater treatment

programs following the promulgation of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972.

Downward trends have been observed in total phosphorus, total nitrogen, indicator bacteria

species, while upward trends in pH and dissolved oxygen were recorded. In addition, downward

trends in sulfate concentrations have been attributed to reductions in sulfur dioxide emissions

resulting from measures undertaken by order of the Clean Air Act of 1970 and subsequent

amendments. Increasing chloride trends apparent in this analysis may be the effects of increasing

urbanization and nonpoint-source pollution.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has published its Environmental

Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) data for sampling stations within the Connecticut

River in the vicinity of the proposed project. The EMAP is a research program designed to foster

the scientific understanding needed to translate environmental monitoring data from multiple

Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-7 May 2014

spatial and temporal scales into assessments of current ecological condition and forecasts of

future risks to our natural resources. The most recent available EMAP data for the project area

was queried from the EMAP web interface.1 Data obtained includes water quality data (2001),

sediment contaminant data (2000), and benthic invertebrate data (1991). Although these data do

not represent a long-term continuous series of measurements, certain parameters may be seen as

a “snap-shot” of prevailing conditions, and values indicating severe impairment should be

conspicuous.

With respect to water quality, the EMAP sampling near the Connecticut River Bridge in

September 2001 indicated a salinity concentration of approximately 30.7 ppt, a dissolved oxygen

concentration of 6.9 mg/L (at 20.2 °C), chlorophyll a concentrations of around 2.5 μg/L, and

total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations of 6 mg/L. The results were nearly identical for

near-surface and near-bottom measurements, likely because the sample was collected from a

depth of only 2.2 meters (7.2 ft). The relative clarity, high salinity, and low chlorophyll a

concentrations are indicative of the site’s proximity to the nearly oceanic waters of eastern Long

Island Sound. Although NMFS classifies the project’s region of the Connecticut River estuary as

the “mixing zone” in EFH documents, the available water quality data suggests that the project

area may be more marine in terms of water quality, and by extension, biota.

In 1998, the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission issued a report of

ongoing water quality threats to the river. "The Health of the Watershed" identified specific

locations of problems such as toxins in the river (e.g. PCBs), combined sewer overflows (CSOs),

bio-accumulation of contaminants, and nonpoint source pollution. CSOs can cause temporary

Class C conditions in urban areas (e.g. Hartford) after storm events. All four of the states in the

watershed have public health advisories on consumption of fish. Connecticut advises against the

consumption of bluefish or striped bass from waters of Long Island Sound and tributary rivers

for high risk individuals, and recommends limited consumption for these species for lower risk

consumers. The contaminants of concern associated with this restriction are polychlorinated

biphenyls (PCBs). These contaminants do not necessarily originate in the Connecticut River but

are nevertheless quite common regionally.

The CTDEEP issues a State of Connecticut Integrated Water Quality Report prepared to satisfy

statutory reporting requirements pursuant to Sections 305(b) and 303(d) of the Federal CWA. In

the 2006 report, the existing Connecticut Bridge served as a demarcation between two 305(b)

and 303(d) assessment segments: Segment CT4000-E_01 comprised the Connecticut River

south of the existing bridge to Long Island Sound and Segment CT4000-E_02 comprised the

Connecticut River north of the existing bridge as far upriver as East Haddam, approximately 16

miles. Segment CT4000-E_01 was listed as a Category 1 waterbody, which means it fully

supports all designated uses: commercial shellfishing (where permitted), fish consumption,

recreation, and habitat for aquatic and other wildlife. Segment CT4000-E_02 was listed as a

Category 2 waterbody, which means that some designated uses are fully supported, whereas

others are not (or were not assessed). Segment CT4000-E_02 was listed as fully supportive as a

habitat for aquatic and other wildlife. In the following State of Connecticut Integrated Water

Quality Reports (2008 and 2011), both segments had been removed from the list of impaired

waters, thus indicating that the waters now meet their designated uses.

May 2014 C.4-8

SEDIMENT QUALITY

As discussed above, the Connecticut River carries a heavy amount of silt. As a fluvial source of

sediments to Long Island Sound, the Connecticut River contributes approximately 42,000 tons

(3.5 x 108kg) of suspended solids per year (Gordon 1980, cited in Knebel et al. 1999).

Drawings provided from the Amtrak Engineering Archives provide sub-bottom profile

information on sediment size and sorting within the project area. In general, sediments are

course grained sand overlain with a silt/sand surficial layer. Silt/sand is more predominant in the

shallows on the nearshore portions of the river, while coarser sediments mixed with shell hash

appear to be more predominant in the deeper channel areas. This grain-size distribution is

consistent with that of other southern New England rivers and is similar to grain sizes reported

from EMAP stations in Long Island Sound near the mouth of the Connecticut River.

As discussed previously, the USEPA has published its EMAP data for sampling stations within

the Connecticut River in the vicinity of the proposed project. Sediment contaminant data is

available from this dataset from the 2000 sampling run. The sediments indicated the presence of

metals, including iron (13,200 μg/g), aluminum (5,560 μg/g), manganese (511 μg/g), zinc (49.5

μg/g), chromium (23.6 μg/g), lead (19.5 μg/g), copper (7.8 μg/g), nickel (6.36 μg/g), and arsenic

(3.78 μg/g). Tin, silver, cadmium, and mercury were also present in concentrations of less than 1

μg/g. It is worthwhile to note that the presence of some these metals in the Connecticut River

sediments near the proposed project does not necessarily imply anthropogenic sources; some of

these elements, such as aluminum and iron, are common in rocks and soils within the watershed.

Nevertheless, silver, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, lead, and zinc are generally

considered anthropogenic metals. Interestingly, the concentrations of polyaromatic hydrocarbons

(PAHs), PCBs, DDT congeners, and pesticides in the sediments near the project area were all

below analytical detection limits in the EMAP sampling.

C. EFH DESIGNATIONS

The project area is located within the tidal Connecticut River. The Connecticut River estuary

EFH designation comprises the following NOAA 10’ x 10’ latitude and longitude squares: 41 ̊

20.0 N; 72 ̊ 20.0 W; 41 ̊ 10.0 N; and 72 ̊ 30.0 W. The EFH covers a number of waters within the

Connecticut River estuary including those of the study area (i.e., Connecticut River, Ragged

Rock Creek, and southwest Lieutenant River. The area of the Connecticut River containing the

project area has been identified as EFH for 13 species. Table 2 lists the species and life stages of

fishes identified as having EFH in the Connecticut River.

D. POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO EFH

GENERAL DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL AQUATIC IMPACTS FROM THE

PROPOSED PROJECT

WATER QUALITY

Sediment resuspension resulting from construction of the Preferred Alternative has the potential

to cause temporary impacts to EFH by reducing water clarity and increasing concentrations of

total suspended sediments. While mitigation measures such as silt curtains would be employed

during in-water work associated with the proposed project, it is possible that some sediment may

escape such controls, however any temporary sediment resuspension associated with pile driving

or other construction activities would be localized to the project area. While Connecticut River

sediments have been found to contain contaminants (especially metals), the strong tidal currents

within the project area should ensure that the redeposition within or outside the project area

would not be expected to adversely affect benthic macroinvertebrates or bottom fish.

Furthermore, the sediments within the lower Connecticut River are highly dynamic and mobile,

and are largely driven by river discharge and sediment load, and therefore sediments under the

Connecticut River Bridge are in constant flux with or without construction activity.

Life stages of estuarine-dependent and anadromous fish species as well as bivalves, crustaceans,

and other macroinvertebrates are generally tolerant of elevated suspended sediment
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

concentrations. These species have evolved behavioral and physiological mechanisms for

dealing with variable concentrations of suspended sediment (Birtwell et al. 1987; Dunford 1975;

and LaSalle et al. 1991). Many estuarine fish species have the ability to expel materials that may

clog their gills when they return to cleaner, less sediment-laden waters. The shellfish species

found in the Connecticut River are necessarily adapted to naturally turbid conditions and can

tolerate short-term exposures by closing valves or reducing pumping activity. Mobile benthic

invertebrates that occur in estuaries have been found to be tolerant of elevated suspended

sediment concentrations. In studies involving the tolerance of crustaceans to suspended sediment

for up to two weeks, nearly all mortality was caused by the full-time exposure to high suspended

sediment concentrations (greater than 10,000 mg/L) (Clarke and Wilber 2000). Impact of this

magnitude is not expected from the in-water work associated with the proposed project. Due to

its coarse nature, the Connecticut River sediment will settle out of suspension more quickly than

finer sediments. Furthermore, the intermittent timing of in-water work as various project

elements are constructed will minimize the duration over which elevated levels of suspended

sediments are present. In addition, fishes are mobile and generally avoid unsuitable conditions

such as increased suspended sediment (Clarke and Wilber 2000). While a localized increase in

suspended sediment may cause fish to temporarily avoid the area where bottom-disturbing

activities are occurring, the area affected would be confined to the project area. Similar habitats

would be available upstream and downstream of the project area for use by displaced fishes.

Therefore, temporary increases in suspended sediment resulting from in-water construction

activities would not be expected to adversely affect fishes and mobile benthic

macroinvertebrates.

PHYSICAL HABITAT

Four types of potential permanent effects to physical aspects of EFH resulting from the Preferred

Alternative were identified and are discussed below:

 Changes to benthic habitat from the installation/removal of in-water piers, shaft and pile

footprints, and retaining walls;

 Shading of benthic habitat by overhead structure;

 Potential radiated noise/vibration into estuarine waters;

 Potential obstruction of fish migration.

Changes to Benthic Habitat

The Preferred Alternative would require the installation of piers and/or piles in open water areas

and extension of embankments with the construction of retaining walls adjacent to wetlands. In

addition, the Preferred Alternative would involve the replacement of the existing timber channel

fender structure. The new substructure would result in a permanent open water loss of 0.74

acres of benthic habitat. However, the Preferred Alternative would likely include the removal of

piers from the existing bridge. The area of recovered benthic habitat as a result of the existing

pier removal would be approximately 0.33 acres.

Within any areas of benthic habitat permanently occupied by new support structures, impacts to

sessile and infaunal benthic invertebrates would be expected. The direct loss of these organisms

would have a highly localized effect, and would not be expected to result in significant adverse

impacts to fishes and other aquatic organisms for several reasons. First, the area of impact to

benthic habitat would be smaller than the available areas of equivalent habitat adjacent to the
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-11 May 2014

project area. Second, estuarine benthic invertebrates typically have evolved short times to

maturity, high fecundities, and widely dispersed juvenile stages in response to the variable

nature of their environment (Brey 2001). The Connecticut River environment at the project site

is highly dynamic, and shifts in salinity and habitat type can occur rapidly over time. Third, the

new bridge support piers and/or piles would ensure habitat complexity in the project area (which

includes the habitats created by existing in-water structures) by providing new attachment

substrate and foraging opportunities for the estuarine fouling community (including barnacles,

mussels, hydroids, algae, tunicates, etc.) and those consumers that feed on attached biota.

Lastly, the benthic habitat recovered by the removal of existing structures would be rapidly

colonized by the area’s benthic fauna, thereby offsetting the loss of habitat associated with new

construction. Therefore, changes to benthic habitat as a result of construction activities will be

limited to a localized area within the project area and may affect, but are not likely to adversely

affect EFH or EFH species at the project site.

Shading of Benthic Habitat by Overhead Structure

Construction of the Preferred Alternative would result in overwater coverage and the associated

shading of aquatic habitat within the project area; however, it is expected that this area would be

roughly equal to the area currently shaded by the existing structure. It has been maintained that

shading of estuarine habitats can result in decreased light levels and reduced benthic and watercolumn primary production, both of which may adversely affect invertebrates and fishes that use

these areas (Able et al. 1998, Struck et al. 2004). Given the changing daily and seasonal angles

of solar illumination, light would be expected to reach the water under these structures during

substantial portions of the day, reducing potential impacts to aquatic biota due to shading.

Additionally, the seasonally high turbidities on the Connecticut River limit any effect of the

additional shading to the first few feet of the water column; therefore, benthic communities

would be relatively unaffected by the increase in shaded habitat. Lastly, because the tidal

currents under the bridge are strong and the bridge structure would be comparatively narrow,

plankton would be expected to move through the project area quickly and would not be expected

to be adversely impacted by shading from the proposed project. Therefore, shading by the

replacement bridge may affect, but is not expected to adversely affect EFH or EFH species at the

project site.

Potential Noise Caused by Project Construction and Operation

Anthropogenic noise in the environment has the potential to impact aquatic organisms. Impacts

range from behavioral avoidance of ensonified areas to sublethal physiological stress and

physical injury, to mortality (Hastings and Popper 2005). In the case of sublethal and lethal

impacts, the spatial extent of the impacts is typically smaller than the area of behavioral

avoidance. Research on noise produced by pile driving, dredging, offshore wind farms, and

vessel operation has provided a better understanding of the potential impacts of these activities

(Vella et al 2001), whereas those resulting from radiated noise produced by bridge traffic and the

operation of moving bridges (noise likely to result from the proposed project) are less well

understood.

Pile driving in particular can produce underwater sound pressure waves that can affect fishes,

although the type and intensity of pile-driving noise vary with factors such as the type and size

of the pile and pile driver, firmness of the substrate, and water depth. Larger piles driven in

firmer substrates require greater energy to install resulting in higher sound pressure levels (SPL).

Hollow steel piles produce higher SPLs than similarly sized timber piles (Hastings and Popper
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-12

2005). Sound attenuates more rapidly in shallow waters than in deep waters (Rogers and Cox

1988 in Hanson et al. 2003). Fish with swim bladders have been shown to be more vulnerable to

these impacts than fish without swim bladders (Hanson et al. 2003, Halvorsen et al. 2012). The

noise levels associated with the potential onset of physiological effects and recoverable physical

injury appear to be considerably higher than the currently accepted noise levels used to assess

impacts to fishes (Halvorsen et al. 2012).

A number of factors determine the intensity and frequency of sound radiated into the aquatic

environment during bridge construction and normal bridge operations. The factors include, but

are not limited to, bridge design, construction materials, degree of coupling to the water column,

typical uses, and water depth (Hazelwood 1994). The effect of radiated noise from the existing

Connecticut River Bridge on the aquatic biota of the Connecticut River is largely unknown,

however many other sources of natural and anthropogenic sounds exist in the Connecticut River

estuary and in Long Island Sound; it is expected that fishes moving through the estuary will

encounter an acoustic environment that is at least as noisy as that encountered in the vicinity of

the Connecticut River Bridge. Operation of the Preferred Alternative is not expected to radiate

substantially more sound into the water than the existing bridge. It is likely that fishes will

habituate to the noise produced by the bridge (Wysocki et al. 2007; Popper and Schilt 2008).

As discussed above, construction of the bridge substructure will be accomplished using drilled

shafts rather than pile driving, which will minimize the extent of underwater noise impacts.

Compared to other methods of pile installation such as vibratory or impact pile driving, drilling

provides a relatively quiet option by which to install piles (HDR 2011). Noise at close range to

pile drilling (30 m from the drilling operation) has been shown to be well below the level

thought to cause behavioral avoidance by fishes (i.e., 150 dB re 1μPa root mean square sound

pressure level; SPLrms) and only slightly higher on average (122 dB re 1μPa) than ambient noise

levels (116 dB re 1μPa; HDR 2011). Because the nature of the sound produced during drilling is

continuous rather than percussive (as with impact pile driving), the amplitude of the sound is far

less than that created during impact pile driving and thus the spatial extent of the ensonified area,

and the likelihood that fish will be exposed, is also considerably smaller.

Furthermore, because the length of time for in-water construction is expected to be relatively

short, individual fish should not be exposed to SPLs of the magnitude known to result in

sublethal or lethal injury. To further protect fish populations, in-water construction activities

would be limited to periods outside of the spawning season for anadromous fishes as identified

by regulatory authorities. Therefore, noise produced during in-water construction activities may

affect, but is not likely to adversely affect EFH or EFH species in the Connecticut River.

Potential Obstruction of Fish Migration

In-water structures can serve as barriers to fish migration, especially when these structures create

significant areas of turbulence, cause a rapid change in hydraulic head, or physically restrict

passage to a large degree (USACE 1991). Typically, these types of obstructions (or restrictions)

are found in flowing rivers blocked by hydroelectric dams, low-head weirs, or culverts. In the

case of the Preferred Alternative, the width of the navigable bridge passage would be between

150 to 200 feet wide, with substantial open water areas remaining beneath the fixed spans. As

with the existing structure, these wide passages are not expected to obstruct fish movements. In

general, natural resources agencies may require work windows where in-water work may be

restricted during the spawning and migration of fish and shellfish species found in the

Connecticut River. Such restrictions are typically enforced to prevent potential disturbance of
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-13 May 2014

migratory fish during spawning. These work windows will be more clearly defined in

conjunction with the natural resource agencies during the final design and permitting stage.

Therefore, construction and operation of the Preferred Alternative is not expected to obstruct

fish migration within the Connecticut River and is not likely to adversely affect EFH or EFH

species at the project site.

CUMULATIVE IMPACTS

Cumulative impacts associated with the proposed project are difficult to assess but are expected

to be minimal. The proposed project would not result in increased train traffic over the

Connecticut River Bridge. Therefore, the project is not expected to facilitate a long-term

increase in development in the watershed beyond any increases from natural population growth.

Habitat loss and fragmentation were found by the USFWS to be significant threats to the biodiversity in much of the Connecticut River Valley. The USFWS identified 142,000 acres as

"special focus areas" that warrant protection, either because of the presence of protected species,

or in order to maintain bio-diversity. The proposed project is not expected to accelerate or

exacerbate regional habitat loss or fragmentation. The proposed project is also entirely

consistent with existing land uses, and any cumulative impacts would likely be imperceptible.

ASSESSMENT OF EFH SPECIES

This assessment evaluated the potential for adverse impacts to EFH species due to the following:

 Changes or permanent loss of benthic habitat within pier footprints and due to embankment

construction;

 Shading by bridge superstructure;

 Temporary increases in suspended sediment;

 Temporary noise associated with shaft drilling and other construction;

 Permanent noise associated with bridge operation and roadway traffic;

 Potential obstruction of fish migration.

In order to assess the potential impacts of project activities on EFH species, an analysis of EFH

for each fish species and life stage listed in Table 2—including the likelihood that the species

would occupy the project area—is summarized below. Where not specifically cited, data

regarding these species were synthesized from the NOAA Technical Memorandum Series,

Essential Fish Habitat Source Documents for the managed species and from the NMFS “Guide

to EFH Species Designations.” Additional references consulted that describe life history

characteristics of these species include “Fishes of the Gulf of Maine” (Bigelow and Schroeder

1953), “The First Year in the Life of Estuarine Fishes in the Middle Atlantic Bight” (Able and

Fahay 1998), the USFWS’s “Development of the Fishes of the Mid-Atlantic Bight: An Atlas of

Egg, Larval and Juvenile Stages,” Volumes I through IV (Jones et al 1978), and the NMFS’s

“Angler’s Guide to the United States Atlantic Coast,” Section II (Freeman and Walford 1974),

among others.

ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR)

Atlantic salmon is an anadromous species that once ranged from the rivers of Ungava Bay,

Canada to tributaries of Long Island Sound. As a consequence of industrial and agricultural
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-14

development (especially hydroelectric dams) and historic overfishing, most native New England

Atlantic salmon have been extirpated (i.e., become regionally extinct). Remnant native

populations of Atlantic salmon in the United States now exist only in Maine. The decline of

Atlantic salmon populations in the U.S. has prompted an “endangered” listing of the species

under the Endangered Species Act (65 Fed. Reg. 69459) in 2000. The Connecticut River is

designated as EFH for juvenile and adult Atlantic salmon.

In the fall, spawning female Atlantic salmon build nests (known as “redds”) in freshwater

streams by excavating gravel from the stream bed. The eggs will remain in the gravel through

the winter and will hatch during the following spring. Newly hatched fry are associated with the

gravel and continue to develop using the energy stored in their yolk before transitioning to live

prey as the yolk-sac is absorbed. Atlantic salmon occupy small, freshwater streams and rivers

during their first few years of life. They will typically feed on aquatic insects and other small

aquatic prey. During the juvenile life stages, Atlantic salmon tend to be solitary and protective

of their feeding territory. After reaching a size of approximately 4 inches, the fish are called

"smolts." At this stage, they begin migrating to the ocean during spring months.

In southern New England salmon may take only two years to become smolts, whereas farther

north the process takes longer due to the cooler climate—up to three years in Northern Vermont,

four years in Nova Scotia, and five years in Newfoundland. During their downstream migration,

smolts become more gregarious, begin schooling, and develop the salinity tolerance needed in

the oceanic environment.

In the ocean, Atlantic salmon grow rapidly. The salmon migrate toward their major feeding

grounds in the North Atlantic near Greenland. After spending several years offshore, adult

Atlantic salmon return to their natal streams. It is thought that salmon use a combination of

magnetic and phototaxic cues to facilitate the homing process. Closer to the coast, salmon use

olfactory cues imprinted during their early residency in the stream to find their natal habitat.

Salmon may reenter fresh waters at any time during spring, summer, or fall, though earnest

spawning only occurs in the fall.

Despite declining natural populations, the aquaculture of Atlantic salmon continues to develop

throughout the world. In eastern Maine and Canada, companies typically rear fish to smolt stage

in onshore freshwater facilities, subsequently transfer them into anchored net pens at sea, and

harvest the fish at marketable sizes. In the western Atlantic, 66 percent of salmon production is

based in Canada with the remainder of western Atlantic production occurring in Maine. Current

management efforts focus on the recovery of natural populations and support of responsible

aquaculture to ensure both resource components are managed in a sustainable fashion.

Through federal and state legislation, the interstate Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon

Commission guides cooperative salmon restoration efforts. The long-term effort has resulted in

an annual return of adult salmon to the Connecticut River. The Lieutenant River, just south of

the project area, has been a stocking location for juvenile Atlantic salmon (USFWS 1999). As of

January 2012, 111 Atlantic salmon were documented in the Connecticut River (USFWS 2012).

Within the project area, Atlantic salmon would only be expected as transients during the fall

spawning migration and migration of the smolts during the spring. Limitations on in-water

construction activities during the migration window, to be determined in consultation with

natural resources agencies, will protect Atlantic salmon in the vicinity of the project area.

Furthermore, spawning habitat is located in the freshwater reaches of the Connecticut River well

above the project area. Minimal impact to nursery habitat in the Lieutenant River, just south of
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-15 May 2014

the project area, is possible. Based on the limited overlap between EFH for Atlantic salmon and

construction/operation activities, the proposed project may affect but is not likely to adversely

affect this species. Stocking efforts in the Lieutenant River would further reduce the likelihood

of any potential impacts as a result of construction.

POLLOCK (POLLACHIUS VIRENS)

Pollock is a bottom-dwelling fish of the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank and hard bottom

habitats (including artificial reefs) off southern New England and the middle Atlantic south to

New Jersey. Adults are found in waters with temperatures below 57.2° F (14° C), depths from

15 to 365 meters (50 to 1,200 feet), and salinities between 31 and 34 ppt. Spawning adults are

found in the same region and habitats with water temperatures below 46.4° F (8° C), depths from

15 to 365 meters (50 to 1,200 feet), and salinities between 32 and 32.8 ppt. Pollock are most

often observed spawning during the months September to April with peaks from December to

February. Eggs are found in pelagic waters of the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank with sea

surface temperatures less than 17° C, water depths 30 and 270 meters (100 to 890 feet), and

salinities between 32 and 32.8 ppt. Pollock eggs are often observed from October through June

with peaks from November to February. Larvae are also found in the waters of the Gulf of

Maine and Georges Bank with surface temperatures less than 17° C and water depths between

10 and 250 meters. Pollock larvae have been reported between September and July with peaks

from December to February. Juveniles are found in bottom habitats with aquatic vegetation or a

substrate of sand, mud or rocks in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank in waters with

temperatures below 18° C, depths from 0 to 250 meters (0 to 820 feet), and salinities between 29

and 32 ppt.

In its Report to Congress: Status of the Fisheries of the United States (2010), NMFS determined

that the stocks of Pollock have been rebuilt.

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to juvenile pollock within the project area.

Operation of the bridge would be similar to existing bridge operations would not be expected to

result in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede use of the project area by aquatic

biota. Pollock spend the majority of their life cycles offshore, only migrating inshore as

juveniles. In addition, pollock are uncommon in the waters of the Long Island Sound, and thus

unlikely to be present in the vicinity of project area (Cargnelli et al. 1999). Therefore, the

proposed project is not likely to adversely affect this species or habitat designated as EFH for

this species.

RED HAKE (UROPHYCIS CHUSS)

Red Hake is a bottom-dwelling fish that lives over sand and mud substrates along the continental

shelf from southern Nova Scotia to North Carolina (concentrated from the southwestern part of

the Georges Banks to New Jersey). Spawning adults and eggs are common in marine portions of

most coastal bays between Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Spawning occurs from May to

June in the New York Bight and Long Island Sound (Steimle et al. 1999). The Connecticut

River is designated as EFH for eggs, larval, juvenile, and adult red hake.

Larval red hake are free-floating and occur in the middle and outer continental shelf. They are

most common at water temperatures from 52 to 66F (11 to 19C) and depths from 33 to 660
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

feet (10 to 200 m). Recently metamorphosed juveniles remain pelagic (in the water column) for

approximately two months, during which time they achieve growth up to 25 to 30 millimeters

(1.0 to 1.2 in) in total length. Physical structure is a critical habitat requirement for juvenile red

hake. In the autumn, juveniles descend from the water column to the bottom and seek structure

in depressions in the sea floor. Juvenile settlement usually occurs in October and November.

Older juveniles use scallop shells, mussel beds, moon snail collars, and other available structures

until their second autumn when they move inshore to waters less than 55 meters (180 ft) in

depth. They typically remain inshore until the temperature reaches 4C (39F), at which point

they migrate offshore to overwinter (Steimle et al. 1999).

In the Connecticut River Estuary, the distribution of red hake is influenced by salinity, water

temperature, and dissolved oxygen. In Long Island Sound, red hake occur most often in coastal

waters in the spring and autumn, moving offshore to avoid warm summer temperatures.

Additionally, red hake have been reported to be sensitive to low dissolved oxygen and prefer

concentrations above 6 mg/L (Steimle et al. 1999).

Juvenile and adult red hake have the potential to occur in deeper waters in the vicinity of the

proposed project. The area of the proposed project represents a small portion of the EFH for this

species. The southern stock of red hake, the stock that could occur within the project area, is not

currently considered overfished (defined as the stock size being below a prescribed biomass

threshold) (NMFS 2010).

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to red hake within the project area. Operation

of the bridge would be similar to existing bridge operations and would not be expected to result

in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede use of the project area by this species.

Therefore, the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect this species or habitat designated

as EFH for this species.

WINTER FLOUNDER (PSEUDOPLEURONECTES AMERICANUS)

Winter flounder is a demersal flatfish inhabiting the Northwest Atlantic Ocean from Labrador to

Georgia. Important U.S. commercial and recreational fisheries for this species exist from the

Gulf of Maine to the Mid-Atlantic Bight. In the U.S., the resource is managed as three separate

stocks: Gulf of Maine, Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic Bight, and Georges Bank. Winter

flounder usually occur in inshore bays and estuaries during the winter months, and migrate into

deeper waters during the summer. Spawning occurs during winter and spring (Pereira et al.

1999). Growth and time to maturation vary by stock. The Georges Bank fish have the fastest

growth and reach the largest size, reaching maturity at the earliest age and smallest size. In

contrast, fish from the Gulf of Maine stock grow the slowest and reach the smallest size,

reaching maturity at the oldest age and largest size (O’Brien et al. 1993). Winter flounder can

grow up to 58 centimeters (23 inches) in total length and attain 15 to 20 years of age (Pentilla et

al. 1989; Pereira et al. 1999).

Winter flounder are typically found from Labrador to North Carolina, but are most common in

estuaries from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Chesapeake Bay (Bigelow and Schroeder 1993;

Heimbuch et al. 1994). This fairly small, thick-bodied flatfish is abundant in Long Island Sound,

where it is a resident, but fish may also move upriver into fresh water (Heimbuch et al. 1994). It
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-17 May 2014

spawns during the winter and early spring, typically at night, in shallow, inshore estuarine waters

with sandy bottoms. Woodhead (1990) reports that spawning occurs mostly in the Lower New

York Bay and the New York Bight. The Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH

for eggs, larval, juvenile, and adult flounder.

Winter flounder have negatively buoyant eggs that clump together and sink following

fertilization. Optimal hatching occurs at 3C (37F) and in salinities ranging from 15 to 25 ppt.

Winter flounder larvae develop to juveniles within the estuarine systems. In March, April, and

May, winter flounder larvae can be found well into tidal estuaries near the bottom (Heimbuch et

al. 1994).

For the first summer, young-of-year (YOY) winter flounder remain in the shallow waters (0.1 to

10 m [0.2 to 33 ft] in depth) of bays and estuaries where temperatures are generally less than

28C (82F) and salinities range from 5 to 33 ppt. Juveniles often occupy areas with sand and/or

mud substrates. Juveniles beyond their first year have also been found to overwinter in estuaries

at temperatures less than 25C (77F), salinities from 10 to 30 ppt, and depths from 1 to 5 meters

(3-16 ft) (Pereira et al. 1999). However, in some studies, juvenile catches during winter

generally increased outside of the estuary while at the same time decreasing within the estuary,

suggesting that juveniles emigrate from the estuary during the winter (Pearcy 1962, Warfel and

Merriman 1944, and Richards 1963 in Pereira et al. 1999).

Adult winter flounder prefer depths of 20 to 48 meters (66-158 ft) and are commonly associated

with mud, sand, pebble, or gravel bottoms. Adults generally leave the estuaries in the summer as

water temperatures increase, returning in the autumn. Winter flounder will live close to shore,

swimming in shallow water to feed. Adults tend to move to deeper water when water

temperatures increase in the summer or decrease in the autumn and winter.

While winter flounder are still found throughout the region, this species is currently

experiencing high fishing rates that exceed natural production. The Southern New

England/Mid-Atlantic stock unit (which includes the Connecticut River population), is

considered to be overfished, but overfishing is not occurring (ASMFC 2011). The latest

assessment, conducted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s Groundfish Assessment

Review Meeting (GARM III) in 2008 addressed this retrospective pattern for the first time and

estimated SNE/MA biomass to be 9% of its target (ASMFC 2009).

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to winter flounder within the project area.

Operation of the bridge would be similar to existing bridge operations and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede use of the project

area by this species. All life stages of winter flounder are likely to occur in the vicinity of the

project area, particularly eggs, larvae and early juveniles. However, the short duration and

localized extent of construction activities may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect winter

flounder or designated EFH for this species.

WINDOWPANE (SCOPHTHALMUS AQUOSUS)

Windowpane is a thin-bodied, left-eyed flatfish species distributed in the Northwest Atlantic

Ocean from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Florida (Bigelow and Schroeder 1993). Windowpanes

prefer areas of sandy bottom and are most abundant from Georges Bank to the Chesapeake Bay.

Windowpane occurs in bays and estuaries at depths from the shoreline to 60 meters (197 ft). On
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-18

Georges Bank, the species is most abundant on the shoals (depths < 60 m) during late spring

through autumn but overwintering occurs in deeper waters out to 366 meters (1200 ft) (Chang et

al. 1999). The Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH for eggs, larval, juvenile,

and adult windowpane.

In U.S. waters, windowpane are assessed and managed as two separate stocks (the Gulf of

Maine/Georges Bank and Southern New England/Middle Atlantic stocks) based on differences

in measured growth rates (Thorpe 1991), size at maturity, and trends in relative abundance.

Windowpane eggs and larvae are found predominantly in the estuaries and coastal shelf water

for the spring spawning period and in the coastal shelf waters alone for those eggs spawned in

the autumn. Windowpane eggs are buoyant, and can be found in the water column at

temperatures of 5 to 20C (41 to 68F), specifically at 4 to 16C (39 to 61F) in spring (March

through May), 10 to 16C (50 to 61F) in summer (June through August), and 14 to 20C (57 to

68oF) in autumn (September through November), and within depths less than 70 meters (230 ft)

(Chang et al. 1999). Larvae are free-swimming, and typically are found in the areas of the

estuaries where salinity ranges from 18 to 30 ppt in the spring and on the continental shelf in the

autumn. During a recent study of the New York Harbor Estuary, juvenile windowpane were

found year-round in both the shelf waters and inshore (Chang et al. 1999). In this study,

juveniles were fairly evenly distributed but seemed to prefer the deeper channels in the winter

and summer. They were most abundant where bottom water temperatures ranged from 5 to

23C (41 to 73F), depths ranged from 7 to 17 meters (23 to 56 ft), salinities ranged from 22 to

30 ppt, and dissolved oxygen concentrations ranged from 7 to 11 mg/L. Similarly, adults were

fairly evenly distributed year-round, preferring deeper channels in the summer months. Adults

were collected in bottom waters where temperatures ranged from 0 to 23C (32 to 73F), depths

were less then 25 meters (82 ft), salinity ranged from 15 to 33 ppt, and dissolved oxygen ranged

from 2 to 13 mg/L.

As with winter flounder, this species is widely distributed throughout the region. The southern

New England/Middle Atlantic windowpane stock is currently considered to be overfished.

Windowpane is managed under the New England Fishery Management Council's Northeast

Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (FMP). Under this FMP, windowpane are included in a

complex of 15 species managed by time/area closures, gear restrictions, minimum size limits,

and by direct effort controls including a moratorium on fishing permits and days-at-sea

restrictions. The goal of the management program is to reduce fishing mortality to allow stocks

to rebuild above minimum biomass thresholds and to attain and remain at/near target biomass

levels.

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to windowpane within the project area.

Operation of the bridge would be substantially similar to existing bridge operations and would

not be expected to result in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede use of the

project area by windowpane. All life stages of windowpane have the potential to occur within

the vicinity of the proposed project. Juvenile and adult windowpane are most likely to occur in

waters deeper than those in the project area during winter and summer months and would be less

likely to experience adverse effects of construction activities during that time. Therefore,

despite their common occurrence in the vicinity of the project area, the proposed project may

affect, but is not likely to adversely affect windowpane or designated EFH for this species.

ATLANTIC SEA HERRING (CLUPEA HARENGUS)

Atlantic herring is a planktivorous marine species that occurs in coastal waters throughout the

Northwestern Atlantic waters from Greenland to North Carolina. They are most abundant north

of Cape Cod and relatively scarce in waters south of New Jersey (USACE 2000). Adult Atlantic

herring routinely move into estuaries, but are largely restricted to well-mixed waters at salinities

greater than 24 ppt. Adults rarely move into freshwater (Smith 1985) and appear to limit their

distribution based on the transition zone between well-mixed and stratified waters. Juvenile and

adult herring undergo complex north-south migrations and inshore-offshore migration for

feeding, spawning, and overwintering. They spawn once a year in late August through

November in the coastal ocean waters of the Gulf of Maine and Georges Banks. This species

never spawns in brackish water. The Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH for

juvenile and adult Atlantic sea herring.

Larval herring are free-floating, and for autumn-spawned fish this stage can last 4 to 8 months

until the spring metamorphosis into juveniles. A fraction of those hatched remain at the

spawning site, while others may drift in ocean currents, reaching eastern Long Island Sound and

entering the Hudson River estuary on flood tides. In the Gulf of Maine, larvae occur at

temperatures ranging from 48 to 61°F (9 to 16°C) and a salinity of 32 ppt. During postmetamorphosis, which occurs through April and May, juveniles form large schools and move

into shallow waters. As early juveniles, Atlantic herring are found in brackish waters, but as

older juveniles, this species emigrates from the estuary during summer and fall to overwinter in

higher salinity bays or near the bottom in offshore areas. Within Long Island Sound, springtime

abundances have been reported as being highest at temperatures ranging from 48 to 50°F (9 to

10°C), depths ranging from 33 to 98 ft (10 to 30 m), and salinity ranging from 25 to 28 ppt.

Juveniles are commonly found at depths ranging from 98 to 443 ft (30 to 135 m) though their

depth distribution varies seasonally (depths increasing with the summer months) (Reid et al.

1999).

On average, males and females mature at about 10 to 11 in (25 to 27 cm). Preferred salinities for

the Atlantic herring are greater than 28 ppt (Reid et al. 1999). Juveniles and adults perform diel

and semi-diel vertical migrations in response to photoperiod and variations in turbidity. Being

sensitive to light intensity, activity is highest after sunrise and just before sunset, when herring

will avoid the surface during daylight to avoid predators (Reid et al. 1999).

In 2005, the NOAA Technical Memo for the species indicated that the U.S. stock complex has

fully recovered from the effects of over-exploitation during the 1960s and 1970s. The Atlantic

herring fishery is not overfished and overfishing is not occurring (ASMFC 2012).

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to windowpane within the project area.

Operation of the bridge would be substantially similar to existing bridge operations and would

not be expected to result in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede use of the

project area by Atlantic herring. Spawning occurs offshore on the continental shelf, which

means that eggs and larvae would not be adversely impacted by the proposed project. Juvenile

and adult Atlantic herring have the potential to occur within the vicinity of the proposed project,

but could avoid the localized increases in suspended sediments and noise. Therefore, despite the

potential occurrence of juveniles and adults in the vicinity of the project area, the proposed

project is not likely to adversely affect this species or habitat designated as EFH for this species..

BLUEFISH (POMATOMUS SALTATRIX)

Bluefish is a carnivorous marine species that occurs in temperate and tropical waters on the

continental shelf and in estuarine habitats around the world. In North America, bluefish live

along most of the Atlantic coastal waters south of Nova Scotia, around the tip of Florida, and

along the Gulf Coast to Mexico. Bluefish migrate between summering and wintering grounds,

generally traveling in groups of similar size and loosely aggregated with other groups. They

migrate north in the spring and summer and south in the autumn and winter. Along the North

Atlantic, summering waters are centered in the New York Bight, southern New England and

northern sections of the North Carolina coastline. Wintering grounds are found in the

southeastern parts of the Florida coast. Juvenile and adult bluefish travel far up estuarine waters

(where salinity may be less then 10 ppt) while eggs and larvae are largely restricted to marine

habitats. The Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH for juvenile and adult

bluefish.

There are two spawning stocks along the U.S. Atlantic coast—a south Atlantic spring spawning

stock and a mid-Atlantic summer spawning stock. The fish spawning in the spring migrate to

the Gulf Stream/coastal shelf interface between northern Florida and Cape Hatteras in April and

May. Post-spring spawn, smaller bluefish drift westward while the larger fish slowly migrate

north along the shelf and west into mid-Atlantic bays and estuaries, including Long Island Sound

where they remain until autumn. Summer-spawning fish migrate to the mid-Atlantic from Cape

Cod to Cape Hatteras in June through August. Summer post-spawn fish head towards the midAtlantic shores and are particularly abundant in Long Island Sound (Fahay et al. 1999).

Juveniles from the spring spawn drift north in the early summer and enter the important nursery

habitats in estuaries and bays along the mid-Atlantic coast in June. Summer-spawned fish

appear in estuaries in mid- to late-summer (Buckel et al. 1999). Reproductively spent adults and

juveniles migrate to the wintering grounds in the autumn.

Juveniles in the Mid-Atlantic Bight inhabit inshore estuaries from May to October, preferring

temperatures between 15 and 30C (59 to 86F), and salinities between 23 and 33 ppt. Although

juvenile and adult bluefish are moderately euryhaline, they occasionally will ascend well into

estuaries where salinities may be less than 3 ppt. Juveniles use estuaries as nursery areas, and

can be found over sand, mud, silt, or clay substrates as well as in Spartina marshes or Fucus

beds. Bluefish juveniles are sensitive to changes in temperature, and thermal boundaries

apparently serve as important cues to juvenile migration off-shore in the winter season (Fahay et

al. 1999).

Adult bluefish are pelagic and highly migratory with a seasonal occurrence in Mid-Atlantic

estuaries from April to October. They prefer temperatures from 14 to 16C (57 to 61F) but can

tolerate temperatures from 11.8 to 30.4C (35 to 87F) and salinities greater than 25 ppt. Adult

bluefish are not uncommon in bays and larger estuaries, as well as in coastal waters (Bigelow

and Schroeder 1993, Olla and Studholme 1971 in Fahay et al. 1999).

Historically, bluefish was categorized as overfished—the stock size was below the minimum

threshold set for this species—and a rebuilding program has been implemented. However, as of

October 2009, the stock has been declared rebuilt (MAFMC 2012). On February 15, 2012,

NMFS proposed specifications for the 2012 Atlantic bluefish fishery, including an annual catch

limit, total allowable landings, a commercial quota and recreational harvest limit, and a

recreational possession limit. The purpose of this action was to establish the allowable 2012
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-21 May 2014

harvest levels and management measures to achieve the target fishing mortality rate, consistent

with the Atlantic Bluefish Fishery Management Plan.

Within the Connecticut River Estuary, juvenile and adult bluefish may occur in the late spring

through autumn; however, no spawning would occur within the project area. Therefore, eggs

and larvae of this species would be unaffected by the project. Water quality impacts from inwater construction activities would be temporary and localized. Noise generated by in-water

construction activity would also be temporary and would not be expected to adversely affect

bluefish within the project area. Operation of the bridge would be similar to existing bridge

operations and would also not be expected to result in significant adverse impacts to water

quality or to impede use of the project area by this species. The loss of tidal wetlands along the

existing railroad right-of-way (ROW) could affect a small area of nursery habitat for estuarydependent juvenile bluefish, but is not likely to adversely affect juveniles of this species. Adult

bluefish are highly transitory and may be affected, but are not likely to be adversely affected by

construction of the project.

KING MACKEREL (SCOMBEROMORUS CAVALLA)

King mackerel is a marine species that inhabits Atlantic coastal waters from the Gulf of Maine

to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico. There may be two distinct populations

of king mackerel. One group migrates from waters near Cape Canaveral, Florida south to the

Gulf of Mexico, arriving by spring and continuing along the continental shelf off western Florida

throughout the summer. A second group migrates to waters off the coast of the Carolinas in the

summer, after spending the spring in the waters of southern Florida, and continues on in the

autumn to the northern extent of the range. The Connecticut River is within an area designated

as EFH for eggs, larval, juvenile, and adult king mackerel.

Overall, temperature appears to be the major factor governing the distribution of the species.

The northern extent of its common range is near Block Island, Rhode Island, near the 20C

(68F) isotherm and the 18-meter (59 ft) contour. King mackerel spawn in the northern Gulf of

Mexico and southern Atlantic coast. Larvae have been collected from May to October, with a

peak in September. In the south Atlantic, larvae have been collected at the surface with

salinities ranging from 30 to 37 ppt and temperatures from 22 to 28C (70 to 81F). Adults are

normally found in water with salinity ranging from 32 to 36 ppt.

King mackerel, because of their temperature and salinity preferences, would likely occur only as

rare transient individuals within the Connecticut River estuary. Therefore, the proposed project

is not likely to adversely affect this species or habitat designated as EFH for this species.

SPANISH MACKEREL (SCOMBEROMORUS MACULATUS)

Spanish mackerel is a marine species that can occur in the Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of

Maine to the Yucatan Peninsula. The Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH for

egg, larval, juvenile, and adult Spanish mackerel. This species occurs most commonly between

the Chesapeake Bay and the northern Gulf of Mexico from spring through autumn, and then

overwinters in the waters of south Florida. Spanish mackerel spawn in the northern extent of

their range (along the northern Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast). Spawning begins in midJune in the Chesapeake Bay and in late September off of Long Island. Temperature is an

important factor in the timing of spawning and few spawn in temperatures below 26C (79F).

Spanish mackerel apparently spawn at night. Studies indicate that Spanish mackerel spawn over
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-22

the Inner Continental Shelf in water 12 to 34 meters (39 to 112 ft) deep. Overfishing of Spanish

mackerel is not occurring (although annual estimates of are not available) and the overfished

status is unknown (ASMFC 2011).

Spanish mackerel eggs are pelagic and about 1 millimeter in diameter. Hatching takes place

after about 25 hours at a temperature of 26C. Most larvae have been collected in coastal waters

of the Gulf of Mexico and the east coast of the United States. Juvenile Spanish mackerel can use

low salinity estuaries (~12.8 to 19.7 ppt) as nurseries and also tend to stay close inshore in open

beach waters.

Water temperature and salinity appear to be the major factors governing the distribution of this

species. Like king mackerel, the northern extent of their common range is near Block Island,

Rhode Island, near the 20C (68F) isotherm and the 18 meter contour. During warm years,

they can be found as far north as Massachusetts. They prefer water from 21 to 27C (70 to

81F) and are rarely found in waters cooler than 18C (64F). Adult Spanish mackerel generally

avoid freshwater or low salinity (less than 32 ppt) areas such as the mouths of rivers.

Because this is a marine species that prefers higher salinity waters, relatively warm water

temperatures and depths exceeding that of the project area, only occasional juvenile individuals

are likely to occur within the Connecticut River Estuary. Therefore, the proposed project is not

likely to adversely affect this species or habitat designated as EFH for this species..

COBIA (RACHYCENTRON CANADUM)

Cobia are large, migratory, coastal pelagic fish of the monotypic family Rachycentridae. In the

western Atlantic Ocean, cobia occur from Massachusetts to Argentina, but are most common

along the south Atlantic coast of the United States and in the northern Gulf of Mexico. In the

eastern Gulf, cobia migrate from wintering grounds off of south Florida into northeastern Gulf

waters during early spring. They occur off of northwest Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and

southeast Louisiana wintering grounds in the fall. Some cobia winter in the northern Gulf at

depths of 100 to 125 meters (328 to 410 ft). The Connecticut River is within an area designated

as EFH for eggs, larval, juvenile and adult cobia.

Information on the life history of cobia from the Gulf and the Atlantic Coast of the United States

is limited. EFH for coastal migratory pelagic species such as cobia includes sandy shoals of

capes and offshore bars. These species can also be found, from the Gulf Stream shoreward,

along high profile rocky bottom and barrier island ocean-side waters, from the surf to the shelf

break zone, including those areas inhabited by the brown alga Sargassum. For cobia, essential

fish habitat also includes high salinity bays, estuaries, and seagrass habitat. The Gulf Stream is

an EFH because it provides a mechanism to disperse coastal migratory pelagic larvae. Preferred

temperatures are greater than 20C and salinities are greater than 25 ppt. This species is not

overfished and overfishing is not occurring (NMFS 2010).

Cobia are likely to occur only as rare transient individuals within the vicinity of the proposed

project due to its coastal migrations, pelagic nature, and salinity requirements. Therefore, the

proposed project is not likely to adversely affect this species or habitat designated as EFH for

this species.

SAND TIGER SHARK (CARCHARIAS TAURUS)

The sand tiger shark is a “species of concern” under the ESA throughout its range and is

managed by the Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (FMP). Under the FMP, it

is illegal to land this species or any of its parts on the Atlantic Coast in the United States. The

sand sharks aggregating behavior, slow growth, late maturity (i.e., 10 years for females), and

low productivity make them vulnerable to overfishing (NMFS 2010).

EFH for adult tiger sharks (>221 cm TL) is characterized as shallow coastal waters to the 25 m

(82 feet) isobath from Barnegat Inlet, NJ to Cape Lookout and from St. Augustine to Cape

Canaveral, FL. EFH for neonates/early juveniles (<125 cm TL) is shallow coastal waters from

Barnegat Inlet, NJ south to Cape Canaveral, FL to the 25 m (82 feet) isobath. Available

information is insufficient for the identification of EFH for late juveniles/subadults (126 to 220

cm TL). The Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH for neonates.

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to fish within the project area. Operation of the

bridge would be substantially similar to existing bridge operations and would not be expected to

result in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede the use of the project area by

neonate sand tiger sharks. Therefore, the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect this

species or habitat designated as EFH for this species.

LITTLE SKATE (LEUCORAJA ERINACEA)

Little skates occur from Nova Scotia to Cape Hatteras and are possibly one of the most abundant

demersal species in the northwest Atlantic. The center of abundance is in the northern portion of

the Mid-Atlantic Bight and on Georges Bank, where it is found year-round. Little skates do not

undertake extensive migrations, but do move onshore and offshore with the seasons - generally

to shallow waters in the spring and deeper waters in winter (Packer et al. 2003b). The

Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH for juvenile and adult little skates.

Little skates are generally found on sandy or gravelly bottoms but can also be found on muddy

bottoms. This species is found in Long Island Sound when temperatures are less than 16 to

18C (61 to 64F). Juvenile little skates are mostly absent from the Sound during summer

months and well distributed in the spring, autumn, and winter. Those that have been collected in

the estuary in the summer were generally found in the deeper, colder waters. Juveniles are

found at depths between 4 and 24 meters (13 to 79 ft) and salinities between 17 and 35 ppt (but

most at ≥ 25 ppt).

Data from a 2007 survey, showed that little skate biomass also had declined and was very close

to the overfishing threshold, but preliminary spring trawl survey biomass had substantially

increased, thus indicating that overfishing probably was not occurring. More recent data, from

surveys conducted between 2008 and 2011, shows that little skate biomass has increased and

that it is above the target. Therefore, this species is not overfished and overfishing is not

occurring (NEFMC 2012).

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to fish within the project area. Operation of the

bridge would be substantially similar to existing bridge operations and would not be expected to
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-24

result in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede the use of the project area by

little skates. Occurrence of little skate in the vicinity of the project area is seasonal and would

further reduce the potential for adverse impacts resulting from construction of the replacement

bridge. Therefore, the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect this species or habitat

designated as EFH for this species.

WINTER SKATE (LEUCORAJA OCELLATA)

The winter skate occurs from the south coast of Newfoundland and the southern Gulf of St.

Lawrence to Cape Hatteras. Its center of abundance is on Georges Bank and in the northern

portion of the Mid-Atlantic Bight. It is often second in abundance to the little skate and

immature winter skates are often confused with immature little skates (Packer et al. 2003b). The

Connecticut River is within an area designated as EFH for juvenile and adult winter skates.

Winter skate is found most often at depths less than 111 meters (364 ft) on sandy or gravelly

bottoms but can also be found on muddy bottoms. In Long Island Sound, juvenile winter skates

are generally absent during the summer and well distributed in winter, spring, and autumn.

Those individuals present in the summer are generally found in deeper channel waters.

Juveniles are found in warmer waters during the spring and autumn (most at 6 to 9C and 5 to

17C, respectively) than winter (mostly in 0 to 7C), and remain mostly around depths of 5 to 8

meters (16 to 26 ft) during those seasons. Preferred salinities range from 15 to 34 ppt, although

most occur between 23 and 32 ppt.

NMFS notified the NEFMC on February 20, 2007 that winter skate had become overfished. At

the time, the Magnuson-Stevens Act required the Council to develop a plan amendment to

address the overfished condition and initiate rebuilding. Data from surveys conducted between

2008 and 2011 indicates that the winter skate biomass has increased and that it is above the

target. At this time, the winter skate is not overfished and overfishing is not occurring.

Water quality impacts from in-water construction activities would be temporary and localized.

Noise generated by in-water construction activity would also be temporary and would not be

expected to result in significant adverse impacts to fish within the project area. Operation of the

bridge would be substantially similar to existing bridge operations and would not be expected to

result in significant adverse impacts to water quality or impede the use of the project area by

winter skates. Occurrence of winter skate in the vicinity of the project area is seasonal and

would further reduce the potential for adverse impacts resulting from construction of the

replacement bridge. Therefore, the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect this species

or habitat designated as EFH for this species.

E. POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO ENDANGERED SPECIES

SHORTNOSE STURGEON AND ATLANTIC STURGEON

The shortnose sturgeon is federally and state-listed as an endangered species throughout its

range. Shortnose sturgeon are typically anadromous, migrating from saline estuaries (and

occasionally the Atlantic Ocean) into fresh water to spawn. Shortnose sturgeon are found along

the Atlantic coast of North America in estuaries and large rivers such as the Hudson, Delaware,

and Susquehanna (Chesapeake Bay). In the Connecticut River system, there are presently two

populations historically separated by the construction of dams. One population is considered to

be landlocked from above the Holyoke Dam up to the Turner’s Falls Dam in Massachusetts. The
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-25 May 2014

other may be anadromous, migrating from saltwater areas of the River to freshwater reaches

below the dam to spawn. In general, shortnose sturgeon remain within the freshwater portion of

the river above the salt front, based on acoustic telemetry studies in the Connecticut River

(Buckley and Kynard 1985). Recent studies suggest that the downstream population is not

successfully reproducing, but is instead sustained by migrants from the upstream population

(Kynard 1997). The population in the Connecticut River watershed is thought to be stable, and

is estimated at 1,200 to 1,500 individuals (Kynard 1997, USFWS 2010).

Shortnose sturgeon spawn in the spring between late April and late May at spawning grounds

located well upstream of the project area near Montague, MA (RM 120) (NMFS 2011a). Due to

the location of spawning areas well upstream of the salt front and the project area, early life

stages of shortnose sturgeon (eggs, larvae, juveniles age-0 and 1) do not occur in the project area

(NMFS 2012, Kynard et al. 2012). Older juveniles are also not likely to occur in the project area

during the spring and summer months as they typically migrate upstream during this time of the

year (NMFS 2011b). Even during the rest of the year, juveniles are more commonly found

upstream of the salt front. Shortnose sturgeon are most likely to occur in the project area

between late April and mid-May when river flows are greatest and salinities are low (NMFS

2011a). By mid-June, most shortnose sturgeon migrate to foraging areas upstream of RM 12

where they spend the summer months (August – October) foraging near the Holyoke Dam (RM

87; NMFS 2011a). During the fall months, adult shortnose sturgeon migrate to overwintering

habitats near the spawning grounds in the freshwater portion of the river and remain there until

spring (Savoy 2004, NMFS 2011b).

Atlantic sturgeon are also anadromous, sharing much of their range with the closely-related

shortnose sturgeon. Of the two species, Atlantic sturgeon can grow considerably larger. In terms

of life history, in relatively unperturbed rivers the Atlantic sturgeon tends to be more oceanic

than shortnose sturgeon and does not typically migrate as far upstream to spawn. In Connecticut,

Atlantic sturgeon are designated as “threatened”. On April 6, 2012, four of the five distinct

population segments (DPS) were designated as federally endangered. The New York Bight DPS,

which includes the Hudson River population of Atlantic sturgeon, is one of the populations that

have been recently listed under the ESA.

Although Atlantic sturgeon are expected to occur at least intermittently in the study area, it is not

found there in exceptionally high abundance based on its distribution within the Connecticut

River and Long Island Sound and its association with deep-water areas of the river (Savoy and

Pacileo 2003, Savoy and Benway 2004). The majority of Atlantic sturgeon (post-migrant

juveniles) collected during trawl surveys in Long Island Sound and the lower portion of coastal

rivers have been found in the Central Basin area of Long Island Sound (Savoy and Pacileo 2003,

Savoy and Benway 2004). Only a small percentage of those Atlantic sturgeon have been

observed in the lower part of the river. Atlantic sturgeon occurring in the project area are

subadults (<1,100 mm fork length) primarily from the Hudson River population (Savoy and

Pacileo 2003, Savoy and Benway 2004). Once they enter the river during late spring (May), the

majority of Atlantic sturgeon are found in discrete, deep-water areas (>9 m in depth) upstream

(RM 6-16) of the project area (Savoy and Pacileo 2003). Atlantic sturgeon leave the Connecticut

River during early fall (September). There is not a spawning population in the Connecticut River

(Kynard et al. 2012); therefore, Atlantic sturgeon eggs, larvae, and early juveniles (age-0 and 1)

are not expected to occur in the project area.
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-26

Both species of sturgeon have the potential to occur within the vicinity of the proposed project;

however most sturgeon are likely to occur upstream of the Connecticut River Bridge. According

to the response to an information request on the presence of threatened and endangered species

in the project area, NMFS indicated that shortnose sturgeon are vulnerable to direct (injury,

mortality) and indirect (removal of forage items, increase in sediment etc.) effects of in-water

construction activities, including the driving of large piles and blasting, which are often

associated with bridge projects (Colligan 2008 and 2011, Attachment 1 and 2). However, if

present in the study area, these large and highly mobile fishes would be expected to avoid noise

associated with construction activities, which as discussed in the “Construction” chapter of the

EA, is not expected to reach levels associated with the onset of physiological impacts,

recoverable physical injury, or mortality.. Because of the distance between the project area near

the mouth of the Connecticut River (RM 3.5) and the spawning grounds (RM 120) and the

location of sturgeon concentration areas upstream of the project area, the likelihood that the

proposed project will obstruct migration of shortnose sturgeon is low. Therefore, noise impacts

to sturgeon are not expected to result from the proposed project. Furthermore, there is no

dredging planned for the proposed project, which will avoid any indirect impacts caused by the

removal of benthic forage organisms. Increases in suspended sediment concentrations will be

minimized through the use of containment measures during pile drilling. Overall, construction

and demolition activities associated with the proposed project may affect but are not expected to

adversely affect shortnose sturgeon or Atlantic sturgeon in the Connecticut River.

BLUEBACK HERRING

Blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis) was recently designated as a “candidate species” under

consideration for Federal listing (50 CFR parts 223 and 224) and is a state-listed species of

special concern, in response to declining stocks. In Connecticut, populations have seen a sharp

decline since around 1990. Major causes for the decline in populations are dams, habitat

degradation, fishing, and predation. Blueback herring are anadromous, spending their adult lives

schooling in pelagic waters and feeding on plankton (NOAA 2007). In the Connecticut River

adult blueback herring migrate from the Atlantic Ocean to fast-moving, shallow freshwater areas

to spawn, between April and July. Adults then return to the ocean shortly after spawning.

Similarly larvae and juvenile blueback herring reside primarily in the freshwater portions of the

Connecticut River, and only until they reach approximately 5 cm in length, at which point they

migrate offshore (USFWS 2010, NOAA 2007). Blueback herring have the potential to occur

within the vicinity of the proposed project. Because of the high salinity (30 ppt) of the project

area, larval blueback herring are not likely to be present in the study area, and juveniles and

adults are only likely to occur seasonally as they migrate out to the ocean during the late summer

and fall (August-September). As with sturgeon, blueback herring are highly mobile and would

likely avoid construction noise during their migrations to and from the river. Blueback herring

are not expected to occur in the Connecticut River between fall and spring. Because blueback

herring spend most of the year in freshwater habitats well upstream of the project area or in

marine habitats of Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, and because the Preferred

Alternative would not obstruct fish migration through the project area, the proposed project is

not expected to adversely affect the blueback herring population.

Since all three of these species (i.e., shortnose sturgeon, Atlantic sturgeon, and blueback herring)

are likely to occur at least seasonally within the project area, and Atlantic sturgeon have recently

been listed under the ESA, Amtrak will continue to coordinate with NMFS and other involved

federal agencies to discuss the potential impacts of the project on these species. If necessary, in-
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-27 May 2014

water work restrictions will be implemented to minimize the potential impacts. Permits issued

by USCG, USACE, and through USDOT’s Endangered Species Act Section 7 Consultation

process for similar bridge construction projects have included in-water work restrictions

designed to protect fishes. Since construction would adhere to the in-water work restrictions

anticipated for this project, the proposed project is not expected to adversely affect any federally

or state listed fish populations.

MARINE TURTLES

The diamondback terrapin is the only marine species of turtle that regularly occurs in

Connecticut. Terrapins hibernate during winter submerged in the mud of tidal creeks. It is most

often found west of the Connecticut River, but has the potential to occur in the Connecticut

River within the project area (CTDEEP 2008).

Four other species of marine turtles, all state and federally listed, can occur in the Connecticut

River, but are less likely to be encountered than diamondback terrapins. Juvenile Kemp’s ridley

(Lepidochelys kempii) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtles regularly enter regional harbors

and bays during the summer and fall. The other two species, green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)

and leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), are usually restricted to the higher salinity

areas (Turtle Expert Working Group 1998). These species neither nest in the Connecticut River,

nor reside there year-round. Turtles leaving Long Island Sound for the winter usually do so by

heading east to the Atlantic Ocean before turning south (Standora et al. 1989, Standora et al.

1990). These turtle species could occur in the project area as occasional transient individuals.

Because they neither nest nor reside in the area year-round, and are only rarely observed in this

portion of the estuary, they would not be expected to be impacted by the construction or operation

of the proposed project.

F. SUMMARY OF EFFECTS ON EFH AND DESIGNATED SPECIES

In consideration of the proposed replacement of the Connecticut River Bridge, temporary and

permanent effects on EFH and EFH species were assessed.

Three types of temporary impacts to EFH resulting from the Preferred Alternative were

assessed:

 Increases in the concentration of suspended sediments;

 Noise from pile driving to install fender system;

 Shading from temporary staging platforms.

Sediment resuspension resulting from in-water construction activities is not likely to cause

adverse impacts to EFH by reducing water clarity or by increasing concentrations of total

suspended sediments. Turbidity barriers will be used to contain and minimize the extent of

sediment resuspension. Any temporary sediment resuspension associated with pile driving or

other construction activities would be localized to the project area by turbidity barriers,

transported out of the project area by the strong tidal currents that flush the Connecticut River or

avoided by EFH species.

Noise from pile-driving activities will not adversely impact EFH or EFH species.

Construction of the bridge substructure will be accomplished using drilled shafts rather than pile

driving, which will minimize the extent of underwater noise impacts. Noise generated during
Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project EA

May 2014 C.4-28

pile driving of piles for the fender system is likely to be minimal due to the number and small

diameter of piles used and the fact that the piles are composite rather than steel. Furthermore,

the short length of time for in-water construction, pile-driving restrictions to protect spawning

migrations of anadromous fishes and high tidal flux through the project area will minimize the

likelihood that EFH species are exposed to construction noise.

Shading by temporary staging platforms is not expected to cause significant adverse effects

to EFH as the size of their underwater footprint will be minimal and barges will be used

when possible.

Four types of potential permanent impacts to physical aspects of EFH were also assessed:

 Changes to benthic habitat from the installation/removal of in-water piers, pile footprints,

and retaining walls;

 Shading of benthic habitat by overhead structure;

 Potential radiated noise/vibration into estuarine waters;

 Potential obstruction of fish migration.

The most likely impacts to EFH and EFH species resulting from construction of the Preferred

Alternative would be related to habitat loss from embankment extensions and the construction of

new piers.

Adverse impacts to EFH caused by changes to, or loss of, benthic habitat as a result of

construction activities will be limited to a localized area within the project area. It is

estimated that the Preferred Alternative would result in approximately 2.8 acres of permanent

wetland impacts resulting from construction of embankments and 0.41 acres of permanent open

water impacts resulting from construction of new bridge piers and piles (i.e., 0.74 – 0.33 acres of

restored benthic habitat).

Shading by the replacement bridge is not expected to adversely affect on EFH or EFH

species at the project site. Given the changing daily and seasonal angles of solar illumination,

light would be expected to reach the water under these structures during substantial portions of

the day. Furthermore, seasonally high turbidities on the Connecticut River limit any effect of the

additional shading to the first few feet of the water column meaning that benthic communities

would be relatively unaffected by the shaded habitat above. Lastly, tidal currents under the

bridge are strong and the bridge structure would be comparatively narrow, which would

transport plankton quickly through the project area minimizing the likelihood of adverse impact

caused by shading.

Operation of the Preferred Alternative is not expected to radiate substantially more sound

into the water than the existing bridge. Given the presence of the existing bridge, it is likely

that radiated noise and vibrations created by operation of the replacement bridge will be within

the range of ambient noise in this part of the Connecticut River. It is also likely that fishes will

habituate to the noise produced by the bridge and will therefore not be adversely affected by

operational noise.

Construction of the replacement bridge is not expected to obstruct migration of EFH

species in the Connecticut River. The width of the navigable bridge passage would be
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment

C.4-29 May 2014

preserved, with substantial open water areas remaining beneath the fixed spans. As with the

existing structure, these wide passages would not obstruct fish movements and would therefore

not be expected to adversely affect migrating EFH or listed species.

The bridge replacement project would result in the permanent loss of a small area of open water

benthic habitat and tidal wetlands, which would affect four of the EFH species. Juvenile

Atlantic salmon and bluefish are known to use these habitats, as are winter flounder and

windowpane. The nine other EFH species are more commonly found in deeper habitats and

higher salinities, particularly king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia. For those EFH

species likely to occur in the vicinity of the project area, the short duration and localized extent

of construction activities and similar operation of existing and replacement bridges means that

the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect EFH or EFH species in the Connecticut

River. Limitations on in-water construction activities during the migration window will protect

anadromous species, including Atlantic salmonthat could move through the project area to

freshwater spawning habitat upstream in the Connecticut River. Furthermore, in addition to

these efforts to avoid adverse impacts, suitable mitigation measures will be implemented to

compensate for the permanent loss of habitat. Once final design has been completed and the

project-generated impacts to tidal wetlands and open water habitats are further evaluated,

appropriate mitigation measures (e.g., restoration and/or purchasing of wetland banking credits)

will be determined through coordination with NMFS, CTDEEP, USACE, USCG, and any other

relevant regulatory bodies involved in the permitting process.

SURROUNDING SITES: SEARCH RESULTS

Surrounding sites were identified in the following databases.

Elevations have been determined from the USGS Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on

a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity

should be field verified. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been

differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property.

Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed

data on individual sites can be reviewed.

Sites listed in bold italics are in multiple databases.

Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.

STATE AND LOCAL RECORDS

SHWS: The State Hazardous Waste Sites records are the states’ equivalent to CERCLIS. These sites

may or may not already be listed on the federal CERCLIS list. Priority sites planned for cleanup using state

funds (state equivalent of Superfund) are identified along with sites where cleanup will be paid for by

potentially responsible parties. The data come from the Department of Environmental Protection’s Inventory of

CERCLIS-NFRAP: CERCLIS No Further Remedial Action Planned

Archived sites are sites that have been removed and archived from the inventory of CERCLIS sites. Archived status

indicates that, to the best of EPA’s knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined

no further steps will be taken to list this site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates

this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time.

This decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that,

based upon available information, the location is not judged to be a potential NPL site.

pertaining to major violators and includes administrative and civil actions brought by the EPA. For administration

actions after September 30, 1995, data entry in the RAATS database was discontinued. EPA will retain a copy of

the database for historical records. It was necessary to terminate RAATS because a decrease in agency resources

made it impossible to continue to update the information contained in the database.

EDR PROPRIETARY RECORDS

Manufactured Gas Plants: EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plants

The EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plant Database includes records of coal gas plants (manufactured gas plants)

compiled by EDR’s researchers. Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800’s to 1950’s

to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture

of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production,

such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds

are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently

disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil

and groundwater contamination.

CERCLIS-NFRAP: CERCLIS No Further Remedial Action Planned

Archived sites are sites that have been removed and archived from the inventory of CERCLIS sites. Archived status

indicates that, to the best of EPA’s knowledge, assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined

no further steps will be taken to list this site on the National Priorities List (NPL), unless information indicates

this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time.

This decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that,

based upon available information, the location is not judged to be a potential NPL site.

Brownfields are real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence

or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these

properties takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment.

Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) stores information reported by EPA Brownfields

grant recipients on brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding as well as information on

Targeted Brownfields Assessments performed by EPA Regions. A listing of ACRES Brownfield sites is obtained from

Cleanups in My Community. Cleanups in My Community provides information on Brownfields properties for which information

is reported back to EPA, as well as areas served by Brownfields grant programs.

EDR PROPRIETARY RECORDS

Manufactured Gas Plants: EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plants

The EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plant Database includes records of coal gas plants (manufactured gas plants)

compiled by EDR’s researchers. Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800’s to 1950’s

to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel. These plants used whale oil, rosin, coal, or a mixture

of coal, oil, and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production,

such as coal tar (oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges, oils and other compounds

are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment. The byproduct from this process was frequently

disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly, serving as a continuous source of soil

and groundwater contamination.

Sensitive Receptors: There are individuals deemed sensitive receptors due to their fragile immune systems and special sensitivity

to environmental discharges. These sensitive receptors typically include the elderly, the sick, and children. While the location of all

sensitive receptors cannot be determined, EDR indicates those buildings and facilities - schools, daycares, hospitals, medical centers,

and nursing homes - where individuals who are sensitive receptors are likely to be located.

Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project 

Meeting Subject: Agency and Public Coordination Meeting 

Date/Place/Time: July 8, 2008 / CTDEP Marine Headquarters / 1 PM 

Attendees: See attached list 

On July 8, Amtrak hosted a public and agency coordination meeting for the Connecticut River Bridge 

Replacement Project. This meeting took place at the Connecticut Department of Environmental 

Protection’s (CTDEP) Marine Headquarters in Old Lyme, Connecticut. CTDEP’s Marine Headquarters is 

located adjacent to the proposed project site. The meeting was held to update interested and involved 

agencies and key stakeholders on the project and to collect feedback about the proposed bridge 

replacement alternatives. An Environmental Assessment (EA) is being prepared as part of this project, in 

accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Federal Railroad Administration 

(FRA) is the lead agency for the preparation of this EA. This memo summarizes the meeting. 

Introduction

In addition to the project team, 24 attendees representing federal, state, and local agencies and key 

stakeholders were present at the meeting. A list of attendees is attached to this summary as Appendix A. 

Ken Kulick, Amtrak Project Manager, welcomed the group to the meeting and thanked everyone for their 

attendance. Mr. Kulick began by stating that the Connecticut River Bridge is the third in a series of rail 

bridges being replaced in Connecticut (Thames River and Niantic bridges are the other two bridges in the 

series). The purpose of the meeting was to update the attendees on the status of the EA being prepared for 

the project. Mr. Kulick then introduced Leslie Mesnick, Technical Director with AKRF, Inc., the 

environmental consultant for the project. 

Presentation

Ms. Mesnick gave a presentation that discussed the following topics: (1) the federal and state regulations 

applicable to the Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project; (2) the framework for the EA; (3) 

existing conditions of the bridge and the project study area; (4) the project alternatives; and (5) the 

timeline for the project. A copy of the presentation is included in Appendix B. Ms. Mesnick also stated 

that this meeting served to initiate the historical resources consulting process required by Section 106 of 

the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and invited those interested to serve as Consulting Parties. 

Questions and Comments

After the presentation, the meeting was opened to the attendees for questions and comments. The 

questions and comments are summarized and categorized by topic below. 

1. Project Alternatives—Bridge Height and Vertical Clearance 

Grant Westerson of the CT Marine Trades Association inquired about whether the decision to limit the 

vertical clearance to 90 feet above mean high water (MHW) for the vertical lift bridge alternatives was a 

final decision. Mr. Westerson noted that some tall sail boats already have trouble navigating under the 81-

foot-high Baldwin Bridge and that vertical clearance decisions made based on the height of the Baldwin

Bridge should be reevaluated. Ms. Mesnick responded that the alternatives presented are conceptual and

will be finalized during the design phase. Mr Kulick stressed that Amtrak is looking for input from the 

marine users of the Connecticut River on these elements of design, since bridge clearance and channel 

width are not immediately relevant to Amtrak operations. Mr. Kulick stated that Amtrak will consider 

any feasible alternatives proposed by marine users, as long as they don’t interfere with the construction 

schedule or require more funding. 

Mr. Westerson stated that a 5 or 6 foot gain in vertical clearance (with the bridge in the closed position) 

could substantially improve marine traffic and should not be overlooked if it can be incorporated into

design. Mr. Kulick explained that raising the bridge profile was explored early on in the alternatives

development. To result in meaningful benefits, the profile of the bridge would need to be raised 

considerably, which was deemed infeasible given the geographic and financial constraints of the project. 

Ms. Mesnick noted that raising the entire bridge profile could increase the footprint of the approaches and 

result in the need for property acquisition and additional wetlands impacts. 

2. Replacement Alternatives—Channel Width and Location 

Mr. Wally Schieferdecker of the Essex Island Marina stated that widening the navigation channel to 200

feet would be beneficial, since passage is often tight for some boats currently navigating the river. 

Mr. David Peterson of Old Lyme Dock Co. said barge captains have difficulty with swinging their barges

to the west to pass through the Connecticut River Bridge channel. Mr. Petersen related a recent incident in 

which a barge tether snapped during such a maneuver, causing the barge to crash into the Connecticut 

River Bridge. To consider barge traffic needs, it was suggested that the location of the channel on the 

Baldwin Bridge be considered before determining the location of the new bridge opening. 

Mr. George Wall of Old Saybrook noted that the relocation of the channel may interefere with a project to 

install new moorings in the river between the Connecticut River Bridge and Baldwin Bridge on the west 

shore. A centered bridge opening would reduce availability of moorings in this area. Ms. Mesnick replied 

that the project team has reached out to the Towns of Old Saybrook and the Town of Old Lyme to inquire

about any planned projects in the area. This project was not mentioned, so the project team will follow up 

to get more information from the Town of Old Saybrook. 

3. Replacement Alternatives—Vertical Lift vs. Bascule Bridge 

Mr. Schieferdecker stated that a vertical lift bridge would be detrimental to marine users by limiting

vertical clearance to a set height. 

Mr. Gary Kassoff of the U.S. Coast Guard said they usually recommend that bascule bridge designs 

ensure that the moveable span swing open as close as possible to 90 degrees from the horizonal to 

maximize vertical clearance. The existing bridge has a 68 foot vertical clearance for the full channel

width, and unlimited vertical clearance only for boats lesss than 71 feet wide. 

Mr. Westerson inquired whether there are any benefits to Amtrak in selecting a vertical lift bridge 

alternative. Mr. Kulick responded that a bascule bridge offers a minimal advantage since it is easier to 

maintain and lasts longer than other types of moveable bridges. Mr Kulick reiterated that there are no

major benefits to Amtrak in changing the channel location or width or the vertical clearance in the 

replacement bridge, therefore Amtrak is looking for input from the marine users. 

Mr. Schiferdecker inquired whether either bridge type (bascule or vertical lift) has an advantage in the 

speed of opening. Mr. Kulick responded that he does not expect one type of bridge to have an advantage

in that respect.

Mr. Kulick explained for the record that there is a tradeoff between channel width and moveable bridge

type. Widening the navigation channel to 200 feet would necessitate a vertical lift bridge, since the limit 

for a bascule bridge moveable span is approximately 150 feet. 

4. Replacement Alternatives—Constructability 

Tom Ouellette from CTDEP inquired whether it was necessary to replace both the fixed and moveable 

spans of the existing bridge. Mr. Kulick responded that the bridge comprises pin connected trusses that 

can be hard to replace and impossible to maintain. The components are one reason why the replacement 

of the entire bridge is necessary. 

Fred Riese from CTDEP inquired whether any of the existing piers can be reused in the replacement 

bridge. Ms. Mesnick replied that the northern alternatives would reuse existing piers if they are deemed 

structurally sound for that purpose. 

Mr. Schiferdecker inquired whether any testing has been conducted to determine the strength of the 

existing foundation and the condition of the river bottom to determine whether construction of new piers 

or the reuse of existing piers is feasible. Mr. Kulick responded that testing will be conducted during the 

preliminary engineering phase of the project. 

5. Replacement Alternatives—Marine and Rail Traffic

Mr. Kassoff expressed concern that relocating the opening of the new bridge to the west would result in a 

navigational difficulty for larger vessels moving upriver. During the off-line construction of the 

replacement bridge, the existing bridge would remain in place (less than 50 feet away, according to 

current conceptual designs). Mr. Kassoff argued that if the channel is relocated to the center of the river it 

would no longer align with the western placement of the existing channel and explained that larger 

vessels would have difficulty making sharp/quick turns in order to get through both channel openings 

during bridge construction. Several members of the marine trades present concurred with Ms. Kassoff. It 

was suggested that the span on the replacement bridge that most closely aligns with the moveable span on 

the existing bridge be constructed last, to maintain continuous channel clearance for the duration of 

construction. 

Mr. Mark Stephanou from the Office of Senator Dodd questioned whether a period of closure to marine 

and rail traffic was anticipated during the replacement of the spans. Mr. Stephanou cited delays to traffic 

during the construction of the Thames River Bridge replacement. Ms. Dawn Shieferdecker also cited 

deplays in the Thames River project and inquired whether engineering procedures were put in place in 

response to lessons learned from other projects in the area. Mr. Kulick responded that limited bridge 

closures would be necessary but long delays are not anticipated. Depending on the build alternative 

selected, delays may range from a few hours overnight to a few days. While the two bridges involve very 

different circumstances, construction lessons learned from the Thames River project will be applied to the 

Connecticut River Bridge Replacement Project. 

Ms. Dawn Schiferdecker questioned why the current bridge structure could not support passing traffic 

despite being a two-track bridge. Mr. Kulick clarified that limitations on passing traffic on the current 

bridge are due to scheduling, not structural integrity. Two tracks are considered to be sufficient for train 

traffic over the replacement bridge. 

6. Potential Project Impacts 

Ms. Susan Lee of the USACE inquired whether an ecological assessment of impacts from the north 

versus the south alignment alternatives has been performed. Ms. Mesnick responded that the EA in 

process will conform to FRA procedures and will include a comprehensive natural resources analysis with 

an assessment of tidal wetlands, open water, water quality, and threatened and endangered species. The

wetland areas potentially impacted by each build alternative will be identified. Field assessments and 

mapping in coordination with CTDEP will be conducted as part of this effort. 

Mr. Schieferdecker questioned whether the bridge’s status as a historic resource might result in 

unanticipated delays. Ms. Mesnick stated that all relevant regulations related to historic resources were 

being addressed to prevent delays. Mr. David Poirier from the CT State Historic Preservation Office 

(CTSHPO) further emphasized that the CTSHPO’s involvement would ensure that there are no delays of 

the project. 

State Senator Andrea Stillman stated that although Shore Line East currently has only a limited number of 

trains, there are plans in the legislation to increase the number of trains in this corridor, including 

expanded weekend service. Therefore, Senator Stillman suggested that before the project moves forward

that the project team look at the intent of legislation passed over the last few years regarding Shore Line 

East. 

7. Environmental Process 

A comment was made regarding the Project Identification statement on Slide 3 of the presentation. It was 

suggested that the statement be altered to read: “Unreliable bridge components cause malfunctions, train 

and marine traffic delays and limited service over the bridge.” Ms. Mesnick and Mr. Kulick agreed. 

Mr. John Parunak of the Sagemark Companies whether the frequency of vessel traffic and vessel type was

studied as part of the EA. Ms. Mesnick said that a navigation survey had been commissioned by Amtrak 

before the EA process began. 

Mr. Wall inquired whether copies of the documentation completed for the Niantic River and Thames 

River projects were publicly available. Ms. Mesnick responded that both projects had been issued 

Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSIs) a number of years ago and these were made available to the 

public at that time. Copies may still available at the town halls in those project areas and local libraries. 

The project team offered to ask FRA if copies of the FONSIs are still available. 

State Senator Andrea Stillman inquired whether any other public meetings regarding the project are 

scheduled. Ms. Mesnick replied that the EA process does not require the sponsoring agency to hold 

official public meetings to the extent the full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process requires. The 

NEPA process does, however, encourage early and ongoing coordination with involved agencies and key 

stakeholders. The present meeting was held on a voluntary basis by Amtrak to solicit informed input from 

the various stakeholders. Amtrak will distribute the EA to all interested parties and adhere to the 

minimum 30-day comment period prescribed by NEPA. While no future meetings are scheduled, Amtrak 

will hold additional meetings as deemed useful to solicit further comment and input on the project design. 

Ms. Mesnick also reiterated that the present meeting served to meet the requirements of Section 106, 

which dictates that a reasonable opportunity is provided to relevant parties to comment on the potential 

historic and archeological effects of the project. Additional Section 106 meetings may be held as the 

project proceeds. 

A concern was raised that there was a lack of representation at the meeting from the Town of Old Lyme. 

Ms. Mesnick noted that members of both Old Saybrook and Old Lyme had been invited to attend the 

meeting and will be provided a copy of the EA. Senator Stillman noted that she represents both towns 

and was present on their behalf. 

8. Project Schedule and Funding 

Ms. Krystn Ledoux, Congressional Aide to Senator Lieberman, inquired about whether Amtrak’s funding 

for the bridge would be funneled separately from USACE funding for channel dredging. Mr. Kulick 

clarified that no dredging is expected to be required for any of the replacement alternatives and therefore

the funding for the bridge replacement would come directly from Amtrak capital funds. Ms. Mesnick 

clarified that dredging is not anticipated for widenening the river channel; the channel will be made wider 

by virtue of a longer moveable bridge span. 

Concern was expressed regarding funding limitations that may impact the schedule for the Connecticut 

River Bridge Replacement Project, much as these restricted progress of the Niantic Bridge Project. Mr.

Kulick responded that Amtrak’s capital funding is approved from year to year so funding will be finalized 

at the time that construction of the replacement bridge is scheduled to begin. Amtrak has no reason to

expect delays due to funding. 

Ms. Ledoux inquired about the schedule for the project. Mr. Kulick stated that construction is expected to 

occur from 2012 to 2015 based on a schedule with no financial restraints and a reasonable case scenario. 

State Senator Andrea Stillman expressed concern about the timetable presented, citing the delays that 

occurred with other bridge replacement projects in the region. 

State Senator Stillman inquired about the cost of the replacement bridge. Ms. Mesnick responded that the 

estimated cost varies depending on the alternative and ranges from $155 million to $185 million. 

Conclusion

Mr. Kulick thanked everyone for coming and adjourned the meeting.
